I Greet Thee Maria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour and brown chalk print by the renowned French artist, Paul Gauguin. Painted around 1894, this artwork showcases Gauguin's mastery in capturing the essence of indigenous people and their natural surroundings. In this portrait-style piece, we see a young native woman sitting outdoors, her head turned slightly as she gazes directly at the camera with an expression of warmth and affection. Her brown hair cascades down her back while she rests on someone's shoulder, symbolizing a sense of care and connection. The use of natural light adds depth to the scene, highlighting the vibrant blue sky above. Gauguin's choice of medium - watercolour and brown chalk over brush and black ink on paper - creates a soft yet detailed depiction that brings out every nuance in the subject's skin tone and clothing. This post-impressionist artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also conveys emotions such as love, happiness, and maternal instinct. The folded arms suggest a protective stance while also adding to the composition's overall aesthetic appeal. Gauguin was known for his unique style called synthetism which combined elements from various artistic movements. Through "I Greet Thee Maria" he invites viewers into an intimate encounter with this young woman from another culture – inviting us to appreciate her beauty, gracefulness, and genuine human connection across different backgrounds.
