{"product_id":"eve-paul-gauguin","title":"Eve - Paul Gauguin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking monotype by Paul Gauguin, featuring a simplified, symbolic depiction of Eve rendered in bold, monochromatic ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis monotype by Paul Gauguin presents a stark, monochromatic exploration of the figure of Eve. Executed during his time in Tahiti, the work reflects the artist's departure from traditional European academic standards. Gauguin utilised the monotype process to achieve a textured, almost primitive quality, where the ink sits heavily upon the paper, creating deep contrasts between the dark, silhouetted forms and the pale, unworked background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central figure stands in a contemplative pose, her hand raised to her face. To her left, a large, indistinct shape suggests a creature or a symbolic element, while a smaller, profile head appears to the right. These figures are rendered with simplified, bold lines that prioritise expressive weight over anatomical precision. The composition is deliberately flat, rejecting the illusion of three-dimensional space in favour of a decorative, symbolic arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGauguin often returned to the theme of Eve, viewing her as a symbol of innocence and the primal state of humanity. In this print, the lack of detail and the rough application of ink contribute to a sense of mystery. The work is not a literal depiction but rather a meditation on myth and origin. The presence of the number 9, enclosed in an oval at the top left, adds an enigmatic layer to the piece, typical of Gauguin's interest in incorporating personal or cryptic signs into his visual language. This print offers a glimpse into the experimental techniques Gauguin employed to push the boundaries of printmaking, moving away from the refined aesthetics of his contemporaries toward a more raw, direct form of visual communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/landscape-near-toulouse-henri-martin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape near Toulouse - Henri Martin — Henri Martin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-beach-at-morgat-finistere-maxime-maufra\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Beach at Morgat, Finistere - Maxime Maufra — Maxime Maufra\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Gauguin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573552976207,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573565067599,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573565100367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573565133135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573565165903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573565198671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573565231439,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573565264207,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573565296975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573565329743,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573565362511,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573565395279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Eve_Poster_CompositorV1_1787787407816.jpg?v=1787787994","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/eve-paul-gauguin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
