Pastorales Martiniques Artist: Paul Gauguin (French, 1848–1903)

1889

Prints and Drawings

By appointment, Duffy Study Room

The etched Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé was the first print by Paul Gauguin acquired by Arthur Ross, but a zincograph and three woodcuts followed soon afterward. The zincograph—essentially a lithograph on zinc rather than on stone—is the artist’s remembrance of a trip to Martinique in 1887; two of the prints are from the famed Noa Noa series of ten woodcuts, which evoke Gauguin’s experience in the South Seas from 1891 to 1893. All of these reflect the completely different life Gauguin found far from the civilization of Europe.
