Change of Residence, from the Suite of Late Wood-Block Prints 1899

"Change of Residence" is a wood-block print by the renowned Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created in 1899, this artwork is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with Tahitian culture, depicted through stylized figures and rich symbolism. The print features Tahitian women standing in the foreground, while a rider on horseback and a cow are seen in the background. This work exemplifies Gauguin's signature use of bold, flat colors and simplified forms, characteristic of his Tahitian period. "Change of Residence" is part of the "Suite of Late Wood-Block Prints," a collection of ten prints showcasing Gauguin's exploration of the human condition and the complexities of modern life. This piece is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago and is a captivating example of Gauguin's artistic evolution.
