Change of Residence, from the Suite of Late Wood-Block Prints, 1899 - A Captivating Glimpse into Gauguin's Exotic Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print by renowned artist Paul Gauguin captures a moment in time during his transformative journey to French Polynesia in the late 19th century. Titled "Change of Residence" this wood-block print is part of a series that showcases Gauguin's unique artistic style and exploration of new cultural landscapes. In this image, four people on horseback are seen moving through an enchanting countryside. The barefoot figures with their bodies elegantly positioned reflect both the exotic nature of the location and Gauguin's fascination with capturing movement and emotion. The panoramic letterbox format adds depth to the composition, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in this scene. Gauguin masterfully employs block printing techniques to create bold contrasts between light and dark tones, emphasizing the dynamic energy emanating from each figure. The use of red accents throughout further enhances the visual impact, symbolizing passion and intensity within this metaphorical journey. As one explores "Change of Residence" it becomes evident that Gauguin was not merely depicting a physical change but also expressing his own personal transformation as an artist. This post-impressionist masterpiece invites us to contemplate our own notions of identity, heritage, and belonging while immersing ourselves in a world far removed from our own. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this rare print serves as a testament to Gauguin's enduring legacy as one who dared to break boundaries both artistically and culturally. It reminds us that art has no limitations when it comes to exploring new horizons or embracing diverse perspectives.
