EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a color chart with annotations by the renowned Post-Impressionist artist, Paul Gauguin, from the late 19th century. The chart, drawn in pen and brown ink on wove paper, is a testament to Gauguin's innovative approach to color and composition. The annotations, written in the same medium, provide insight into the artist's thought process and symbolic intentions. Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), a French artist, is celebrated for his contributions to the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements. His works often depicted scenes from his travels to Tahiti and other exotic locales, reflecting his fascination with the cultures and landscapes he encountered. The color chart with annotations is believed to have been created during this period, likely between 1884 and 1888. The chart is divided into sections, each containing a series of color swatches, and is accompanied by annotations in brown ink. These annotations, written in a clear and deliberate hand, suggest that the chart was used as a tool for recording and organizing Gauguin's observations of color relationships and combinations. The chart's intriguing combination of scientific precision and artistic expression makes it a unique and valuable addition to the artistic canon. Today, this rare and historic work can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
