Volpini Suite: Laundresses (Les Laveuses), 1889. Creator: Paul Gauguin (French, 1848-1903)
Volpini Suite: Laundresses (Les Laveuses), 1889. Gauguin discovered an exotic, primitive culture in Brittany, a rugged region on the Atlantic coast in northwestern France. He then sought to translate into expressive forms the picturesque costumes, customs, and special spirituality of the peasants. The unusual point of view, the stylization of the frothing water, and the cropped cow at the lower left all betray the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, which became popular in France from the early 1860s. The twelve lithographs in this set, printed from zinc plates rather than stones, were Gauguins first attempts at printmaking. To heighten the decorative effect, the lithographs were printed onto large sheets of bright yellow paper

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Gauguin's "Volpini Suite: Laundresses (Les Laveuses)" from 1889. In this piece, Gauguin delves into the enchanting world of Brittany, a rugged region on France's Atlantic coast, where he discovered an exotic and primitive culture. Inspired by the picturesque costumes, customs, and spiritual essence of the local peasants, Gauguin sought to translate their essence into expressive forms. The influence of Japanese woodblock prints is evident in this artwork through its unique perspective, stylized depiction of frothing water, and inclusion of a cropped cow at the lower left corner. During that time period in France, Japanese prints had gained popularity since the early 1860s. Interestingly enough, these twelve lithographs were Gauguin's initial foray into printmaking. Unlike traditional stone lithography techniques used during that era, he printed them from zinc plates instead. To enhance their decorative effect further, these lithographs were printed onto large sheets of vibrant yellow paper. This remarkable piece represents Gauguin's transition towards post-impressionism while still retaining elements of realism. It exemplifies his ability to capture both cultural nuances and aesthetic beauty within his artistry. Heritage Art/Heritage Images presents this exquisite print as part of their collection showcasing renowned French artist Paul Gauguin's profound impact on 19th-century art movements such as impressionism and post-impressionism.
