EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1936 and introduced to Paul Gauguin's masterpiece, "We Greet Thee, Mary". This iconic artwork was created in 1891 and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Gauguin, a renowned French post-impressionist artist, showcases his exceptional talent for capturing emotion and beauty through his brushstrokes. The painting depicts a scene from French Polynesia, where Gauguin spent much of his life seeking inspiration. A Tahitian woman stands gracefully with her arms outstretched as she greets Mary. Surrounding her are children and men who also join in this reverent salutation. The vibrant colors used by Gauguin bring the tropical landscape to life while highlighting the traditional attire worn by the natives. Gauguin's unique artistic style blends elements of impressionism with post-impressionism, resulting in a visually stunning composition that captures both realism and symbolism. Through this work of art, he invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich culture and natural beauty of French Polynesia. This print serves as a testament to Gauguin's ability to transport us across time and space into an intimate moment between people from different backgrounds united by their faith. It is a true treasure within the world of art history that continues to captivate audiences today.
