"Croquis Martiniquais" is a series of works by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his stay in Martinique in 1887. This period was significant in Gauguin's artistic development, as it marked a transition from his early Impressionist style to the more symbolist and synthetist approach that would characterize his later works. The "Croquis Martiniquais" (which translates to "Martinique Sketches") reflect Gauguin's impressions of the Caribbean island's tropical landscape, its people, and their way of life.

During his time in Martinique, Gauguin was inspired by the lush vegetation, the vibrant colors, and the light of the tropics, which differed greatly from the European scenes he had previously painted. The sketches and paintings he produced capture the exotic and somewhat idyllic qualities of the island, with Gauguin employing a palette of bright, bold colors and a style that began to move away from naturalistic representation. These works are characterized by a more simplified form and a focus on the essential elements of the subject matter, which would become hallmarks of Gauguin's mature style.

The "Croquis Martiniquais" are considered important in understanding Gauguin's search for a more primitive and unadulterated form of expression, which later led him to Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. The Martinique sketches also reflect Gauguin's interest in depicting the lives of indigenous peoples, a theme that would dominate his later works. These pieces are held in various collections around the world and continue to be studied for their influence on the trajectory of modern art.

While in Martinique, Gauguin's health suffered, and he struggled with financial difficulties, yet the works from this period, including the "Croquis Martiniquais," are seen as a pivotal point in his career. They not only showcase his evolving artistic vision but also represent a significant cultural encounter that would resonate throughout his oeuvre. The "Croquis Martiniquais" remain a testament to Gauguin's innovative spirit and his relentless pursuit of a new artistic language that sought to break free from Western conventions.
