EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating collection of graphite and crayon drawings on wove paper by the renowned Post-Impressionist artist, Paul Gauguin. This set of sketches, created during Gauguin's stay in Brittany, France, showcases his distinctive style and innovative approach to depicting figures and shapes. The black and white drawings, reminiscent of an era long past, offer a glimpse into the artist's fascination with the Breton women and their connection to the natural world. Each study captures the essence of the women's forms, their faces etched with character and emotion, while the vases and shapes that accompany them add a sense of harmony and balance to the compositions. Gauguin's use of graphite and crayon creates a rich texture and depth, bringing the figures and objects to life. The sketches, which were likely made in a sketchbook or study notebook, reveal the artist's thought process and exploration of form and composition. As a leading figure of Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, Gauguin's work challenged traditional artistic norms and paved the way for modern art. These studies, with their bold lines and expressive forms, are a testament to his groundbreaking artistic vision. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this rare and historic collection, allowing viewers to delve into the mind of one of the most influential artists of the 19th century. The drawings transport us to a time and place where art, culture, and nature intertwined, and where the human spirit and creative expression flourished.
