Born in Paris, France in 1883, Paul Rollon "Pola" Gauguin was the youngest of artist Paul Gauguin's (1848-1903) five legitimate children. Gauguin studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1905, and from 1906 to 1909 was an assistant to architects Hermann Baagøe Storck and Anton Rosen. He debuted as an artist at Blomqvist Kunsthandal and Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo in 1913, and exhibited in the Oslo Autumn Exhibition in 1914. Gauguin started his own artist school in Oslo which he ran until 1924. He also worked as an author and critic for Dagbladet, Tidens Tegn, Verdens Gang and Ekstrabladet. Among his books are biographies of Henrik Lund, Christian Krohg...

Woodcut on vélin Utopian paper. Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Good Condition. Notes: From the folio, Gauguin, A portfolio of 12 color woodblocks, Paul Gauguin, French, 1848-1903 from the collection of the Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston, 1946. Rendered by Albert Carman (1899-1949); published the Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston and The Studio Publications, Inc., New York and London; printed by Holme Press Inc., New York, in an edition of MMMD. Excerpted from the folio, Paul Gauguin and Emil Bernard at Pont-Aven, Brittany, in 1888, each made a bas-relief, wooden panel to decorate a piece of furniture for a friend. In order to keep a record of their designs, a few inked impressions were made on paper. The illustration at left is a reproduction of a print which is possibly one of the above mentioned. It is further possible that this experiment later gave Gauguin the idea of making woodcuts. Just as his work in painting expressed a revolt against the overemphasis on factual representation of the nineteenth century in favor of decorative pattern and color, so also his woodcuts leaned strongly to the same side of the balance. Ten of the cuts reproduced (all excepting Soyez Amoureuses and Changement de Residence), which constitute the whole of his best known series, were made at Pont-Aven beginning in the fall of 1894, after Gauguin's return from his first trip to Tahiti and after he broke his ankle. They were at first roughly cut with a common carpenter's gouge, and the flat surfaces sandpapered and engraved with a sharp in-strument, perhaps an engraver's burin. A few trial proofs were printed in black ink only. Then the hollows were deepened with a woodcutter's gouge and highlights were added. An edition of thirty to fifty impressions of each subject, with the addition of color blocks (one, two or three), was made by Louis Roy...
