Painting Description
"Manao Tupapau and Femme Maorie Dans Un Paysage De Branches D'arbres (reverse side of woodblock Manao Tupapau) (M./K./J. 30 A and B)" is a notable work by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his time in the South Pacific. This piece is particularly significant as it showcases Gauguin's exploration of woodblock printing, a technique he adopted and adapted to express the rich cultural tapestry and the mystique of Tahitian life that had captivated him since his arrival on the island in 1891.
The artwork consists of two distinct images on either side of a single woodblock, reflecting Gauguin's innovative approach to his materials and his desire to delve into the spiritual and mythological aspects of Tahitian culture. On one side, "Manao Tupapau" depicts a scene that translates to "the spirit of the dead watches over her," a theme Gauguin revisited multiple times, most famously in his painting "Manao Tupapau (Spirit of the Dead Watching)" from 1892. This image resonates with the local beliefs and superstitions surrounding the tupapau, the Tahitian spirits of the dead.
On the reverse, "Femme Maorie Dans Un Paysage De Branches D'arbres" presents a Maori woman set within a landscape of tree branches, further emphasizing Gauguin's interest in the indigenous people and their environment. The juxtaposition of these two images on a single woodblock underscores the artist's experimental nature and his commitment to portraying the essence of Tahitian life and folklore.
The woodblock prints are catalogued as M./K./J. 30 A and B, indicating their place in the artist's oeuvre and the cataloging system used by art historians to identify his works. Gauguin's prints are celebrated for their bold lines, simplified forms, and the way they convey the artist's symbolic and often enigmatic narratives. "Manao Tupapau and Femme Maorie Dans Un Paysage De Branches D'arbres" exemplifies Gauguin's unique style and his profound impact on the Primitivism movement, which sought to escape the confines of Western artistic traditions by drawing inspiration from so-called "primitive" art forms.
This woodblock print remains an important piece within Gauguin's body of work, offering insight into his artistic process and his deep engagement with the cultural and spiritual life of the Tahitian people. It continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the understanding of post-Impressionist art and its influence on the development of modern art.
