Short description
Ars mundi exclusive edition | Limited, 499 exemplars | Serially numbered | Certificate | Reproduction, giclée on canvas | Wedge frame | Genuine wood framing | Format 79 x 56 cm
The Folkwang founder Karl Ernst Osthaus almost renounced in 1904 to buy this masterpiece, as the prices of Gauguin’s works soared instantly when the news of the painter’s death reached Europe. As it happened, the Polynesian paradise of the painter turned long ago into hell: poor, severely diseased and threatened with imprisonment, he created works of barely encrypted existential force. The "Contes Barbares" thematises symbols such as sacrifice and lily death and evanescence - and they do this in portrait: the young, vital Polynesian girls were painted by Gauguin together with his friend Freund Jacob Meyer de Haan, who had died several years before.
Original: Oil on canvas, Museum Folkwang, Essen.
Fine art giclée on real art canvas, stretched on wedge frame. Limited edition of 499 serially numbered exemplars, with certificate. Framed in hand-made genuine wood framing. Format 79 x 56 cm. Exclusively at ars mundi.
