EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artistic genius of Paul Gauguin, featuring his caricatures of himself and Governor Gallet. Taken from Le sourire, a publication in 1900, this piece exemplifies Gauguin's unique style and mastery of various mediums. In this image, we see Gauguin's pencil drawing skillfully enhanced with black colored pencil and touches of pen and black ink. The transfer drawing in black adds depth to the composition while the wood block print in black ink with blue watercolor creates an intriguing contrast on cream wove paper. Gauguin's caricature depicts himself alongside Governor Gallet, both mounted on horseback. Their exaggerated features capture their distinct personalities while showcasing Gauguin's keen eye for detail. The French text accompanying the caricatures adds an authentic touch to this historical artwork. The setting is a desk adorned with art supplies and furniture typical of the 19th century era. This scene transports us back to France where Gauguin was known for his post-impressionist works that challenged traditional artistic norms. As we admire this remarkable piece at the Art Institute Chicago, we are reminded of Gauguin's significant contribution to the art movement during his time. His self-portrait as a rider reflects not only his artistic prowess but also his rebellious spirit that pushed boundaries within the art world. This print serves as a testament to Gauguin's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential artists.
