EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Title Pages for 'Le Sourire' (Les deux titres du Sourire) [verso], created by Paul Gauguin in or after 1895, offer a captivating glimpse into the artistic mind of this influential Post-Impressionist and Symbolist painter. These title pages serve as the cover art for Gauguin's publication of the same name, which was likely intended to be a collection of his woodcut prints. The two woodcut blocks, each featuring a distinct yet related image, showcase Gauguin's mastery of the medium. The left title page depicts a serene landscape, with a lone figure of a woman sitting on a rock, her back to the viewer, and a contented animal at her side. The right title page presents an animal, perhaps a pig or a boar, with its head turned towards the viewer, its expression suggesting a mischievous grin or a sly smile. The title 'Le Sourire,' meaning 'the smile' in French, is fitting for both images, as they both convey a sense of joy and contentment. Gauguin's 'Le Sourire' title pages are a testament to his artistic vision and his ability to convey emotion through simple yet powerful imagery. These woodcut blocks represent a significant contribution to the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements, and continue to captivate art enthusiasts and scholars alike. Today, these precious pieces can be found in the prestigious collections of various art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
