"Cave Canis" (Beware of the Dog) and "Titre pour 'Le Sourire'" (Headpiece for 'Le Sourire') are two graphic works by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created during the latter part of the 19th century, these works reflect Gauguin's exploration of symbolism and his departure from Impressionism towards a more synthesized form of art that would influence the Symbolist movement.

"Cave Canis" is a woodcut print that exemplifies Gauguin's interest in primitive art forms and his use of bold, simplified shapes and strong lines. The title, which translates to "Beware of the Dog" in Latin, suggests a warning or a protective symbol, which is a theme that can be interpreted in various ways within the context of Gauguin's life and work. The image may represent a personal or metaphorical significance, as Gauguin often infused his art with symbolic meaning.

"Titre pour 'Le Sourire'" is another graphic work that served as a headpiece for the French avant-garde magazine "Le Sourire" (The Smile). Gauguin's contribution to the magazine reflects his engagement with the literary and artistic circles of his time and his interest in the interplay between text and image. The piece likely features Gauguin's distinctive style, characterized by a departure from naturalistic representation and an embrace of a more stylized aesthetic.

Both works are indicative of Gauguin's innovative approach to printmaking and his desire to break away from traditional Western art conventions. His prints are celebrated for their experimental techniques and their role in the artist's quest for a more expressive and symbolic visual language. Gauguin's influence on the graphic arts and his contribution to the development of modern art are recognized as significant, with these works serving as examples of his pioneering spirit and his search for new means of artistic expression.
