EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "At the Black Rocks" is a stunning example of Paul Gauguin's late wood-block prints from 1898/99. The renowned French post-impressionist artist transports us to the exotic landscapes of Tahiti with this evocative piece. In this image, we see two women sitting on rocks by the shore, their nakedness boldly portrayed against the dark backdrop. Gauguin masterfully captures the essence of Polynesian culture and its connection to nature through his use of block printing techniques. The letterbox format adds a panoramic effect, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing scene. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mystery, enhancing our fascination with these enigmatic figures. Gauguin's choice to depict his subjects in their natural state challenges societal norms and invites contemplation on themes of nudity, identity, and freedom. Through his artistry, he invites viewers to explore different cultures while questioning established conventions. "At the Black Rocks" showcases Gauguin's unique artistic vision that transcends time and place. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most influential artists. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this woodblock print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking imagery. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of Gauguin's remarkable ability to transport us into worlds both familiar and unknown through his brushstrokes or in this case - woodcuts.
