EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Noa noa (Fragrant), 1894/95" transports us back to the enchanting world of French Polynesia in the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Paul Gauguin, this piece captures the essence of Tahitian culture and rural life. In this image, a Tahitian woman is depicted carrying a bundle on her shoulders as she walks along a path surrounded by lush vegetation. Her traditional dress, known as a sarong, adds an exotic touch to the scene. The scent of fragrant flowers fills the air, creating an immersive experience for viewers. Gauguin's fascination with nature and local people is evident in his meticulous attention to detail. Through block printing techniques, he skillfully portrays the textures and patterns found in plants and foliage. This post-impressionist artwork showcases Gauguin's unique artistic style that combines elements of regionalism with his own interpretation of beauty. "Noa noa (Fragrant)" not only serves as a visual masterpiece but also offers insight into Gauguin's literary work of the same name. This book recounts his experiences during his time in French Polynesia, providing further context to appreciate this artwork within its historical and cultural framework. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in Gauguin's exploration of color, form, and emotion while appreciating the rich heritage art from one of history's most celebrated artists.
