Te atua (The God), from the Suite of Late Wood-Block Prints 1898 - 1899

"Te atua (The God)" is a woodblock print from Paul Gauguin's Suite of Late Wood-Block Prints, created in 1898-1899. The print depicts a scene with a large head at the top surrounded by figures and a bird. Gauguin's distinct style, characterized by bold lines, vibrant colors, and symbolic imagery, is evident in the composition. The print, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into Gauguin's exploration of Polynesian culture and spirituality through art. This work is a powerful example of Gauguin's artistic expression and his fascination with the mystical and the spiritual.
