Auti Te Pape - A Tahitian Enigma
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking print from 1921, French post-Impressionist master Paul Gauguin captures the essence of Auti Te Pape (1868-1894), a mysterious and alluring Tahitian woman. The black-and-white woodcut on gray backing presents an enigmatic portrait that transcends time and cultural boundaries.
Gauguin's fascination with Polynesian culture, particularly in French Polynesia, is evident in this work. As he often did, the artist drew inspiration from local myths and legends to create a sense of mystery surrounding his subjects. Auti Te Pape's gaze seems almost otherworldly, inviting the viewer into her mystical realm.
The print's stark contrast between light and dark creates an air of intrigue, as if secrets are hidden beneath the surface. Gauguin's use of bold lines and textures adds depth to the composition, drawing us closer to this figure from Tahiti.
This rare woodcut is a testament to Gauguin's innovative artistic style, which blended elements of primitivism with his own unique vision. As we gaze upon Auti Te Pape, we are transported to a world where myth and reality blur, inviting us to unravel the mysteries hidden within her enigmatic smile.
