EDITORS COMMENTS
Monkey and Cottage: Little Breton Boy [recto], 1884-1888" is a captivating artwork created by the Post-Impressionist artist, Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin. This black and white drawing, with elements of graphite and crayon on wove paper, showcases Gauguin's unique artistic vision and his deep connection to the natural world. The image depicts a quaint Breton cottage nestled in the lush, green landscape of Brittany, France. The simple, rustic building stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and trees, its whitewashed walls and thatched roof evoking a sense of tranquility and simplicity. In the foreground, a young Breton boy, dressed in traditional clothing, plays with a monkey. The monkey, perched on the boy's shoulder, gazes intently at the viewer, while the boy looks off into the distance, lost in thought. The contrast between the human child and the monkey highlights the connection between nature and humanity, as well as the innocence and curiosity of childhood. Gauguin's use of graphite and crayon creates a rich texture and depth to the image, with the rough, expressive lines of the crayon adding a sense of energy and movement. The drawing is a testament to Gauguin's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. This artwork is an important example of Gauguin's post-impressionist style, which emphasized emotion and symbolism over realistic representation. It is also a reflection of the artist's interest in the Symbolist movement, which sought to explore the inner workings of the human mind and the spiritual world. Monkey and Cottage: Little Breton Boy [recto] is a beloved work in the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C., and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the works of Paul Gauguin.
