The Story in the Margin
This woodcut belongs to Paul Gauguin's "Noa Noa" suite, a series of prints he created after returning to Paris from his first stay in Tahiti, intended to accompany his own semi-fictionalized travel memoir of the same name. "L'univers est créé (The Universe Is Being Created)" reflects Gauguin's fascination with Polynesian cosmology and creation myth, rendered in a boldly carved, primitivist woodcut technique that abandoned fine European engraving conventions in favor of raw, direct mark-making. The Noa Noa woodcuts are considered among the most radical and influential prints of the late nineteenth century.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.
