EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tahitian Faces Frontal View Profiles ca 1899" by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Tahiti in the late 19th century. The artist, Paul Gauguin, known for his fascination with exotic peoples and their cultures, beautifully captures the essence of these Tahitian faces. In this artwork, Gauguin's mastery is evident as he skillfully uses charcoal on laid paper to depict two profiles facing each other. The dark-haired young woman at the center of the composition becomes an icon representing a new world untouched by modern civilization. Gauguin believed that these innocent faces held a certain purity and were free from the woes stirred up by contemporary society. The artist's almost worshipful appreciation for these exotic people is stirringly conveyed through his drawings. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to Atuona in Hiva Oa, one of Marquesas Islands where Gauguin painted during his second voyage to Tahiti. With its remarkable attention to detail and emotional depth, this artwork serves as a testament to Gauguin's ability to capture not only physical features but also the spirit of those he encountered. It invites us into a world far removed from our own while reminding us of humanity's universal connection across time and space.
