'''Croquis Martiniquais (recto and verso)''' is a set of sketches by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his stay in Martinique in 1887. The term "recto and verso" refers to the front and back sides of the paper on which Gauguin drew his sketches. These works are significant as they reflect Gauguin's experiences and impressions of the Caribbean island, which played a crucial role in the development of his artistic style.

The sketches, often executed in pencil or charcoal, sometimes with touches of watercolor, depict various aspects of Martinique's landscape, its people, and their daily life. Gauguin's time in Martinique was a period of transition and experimentation, where he began to move away from the Impressionist techniques he had previously employed, towards a more synthesized, flat, and colorful style that would later become characteristic of his mature work.

"Croquis Martiniquais" showcases Gauguin's interest in capturing the essence of the subjects rather than their realistic representation. The sketches are noted for their loose, expressive lines and for the way they convey the lushness of the tropical environment and the vibrancy of the island's culture. These works are also an important record of Gauguin's early exploration of the themes of exoticism and primitivism, which would become central to his later paintings.

The sketches from Martinique are scattered across various collections, with some held in private collections and others on display in museums around the world. They are often studied by art historians as a key to understanding Gauguin's artistic evolution and his search for new sources of inspiration outside the traditional Western canon.

As part of Gauguin's oeuvre, "Croquis Martiniquais (recto and verso)" contributes to the narrative of the artist's quest for a purer form of art, unadulterated by the industrialized European society of his time. These sketches not only offer insight into Gauguin's personal artistic journey but also reflect the broader 19th-century European fascination with "the other" and the romanticization of distant lands and cultures.
