EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Two Maori Women Squatting Down" captures a moment frozen in time during the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Paul Gauguin, this zincograph showcases his mastery of post-impressionism and his ability to capture the essence of different cultures. The two Maori women depicted in the artwork are seated gracefully on the ground, their posture reflecting a sense of tranquility and inner strength. Their traditional attire and intricate facial tattoos speak volumes about their rich cultural heritage as indigenous people from New Zealand's Polynesian community. Gauguin's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink on this cream wove paper. The contrast between light and dark adds depth to the image, emphasizing the contours of these remarkable women. Through his artistry, Gauguin invites us to appreciate not only their physical beauty but also their resilience and spirit. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to an era when European artists sought inspiration from distant lands. Gauguin's fascination with non-Western cultures shines through in this work, showcasing his desire to explore new perspectives beyond what was familiar. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it allows us to connect with diverse cultures across continents and centuries. It is a testament to Gauguin's talent as well as an homage to the enduring legacy of Maori culture within our global society.
