Gauguin On The Seas
In the 19th Century travelling was neither as easy nor as affordable as it for us today; a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean could take several weeks or even months to complete, and conditions were far from safe and pleasant. A coach seat on a long haul flight would have been considered luxurious in comparison to a berth on a 19th Century ship. As a result, for most Western artists, their journeys and influences were limited to what their own continents could offer them. Impressionists would travel between France, Italy and perhaps Britain, looking for new and exciting landscapes. Of course there were exceptions. John Singer Sargent criss-crossed Europe and the Mediterranean and traversed the Atlantic on numerous occasions, Camille Pissarro was known to have travelled between the Caribbean, Europe and South America and Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent time travelling across the north of Africa.
Marketing Manao Tupapau
Manao Tupapau, more commonly known as Spirit Of The Dead Watching, is an 1893 oil painting by French post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin, currently held at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. The work depicts a nude girl lying on a bed face down, with an old woman seated behind her - the subject of the painting was Gauguin’s 14 year old child wife Tehura, and there have been numerous attempts to interpret the work, including conflicting explanations by Gauguin himself. At its basis it represents Gauguin’s attempts to capture the idea of the Tahitian’s fear of the spirits of the dead, although themes of sexuality and aggression may also be inferred.
