Woman with Figs 1894

"Woman with Figs" is a woodcut by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1894. The work depicts a Tahitian woman seated at a table with figs and a bowl, and is a prime example of Gauguin's style. The woodcut is characterized by its bold lines, strong contrasts of light and dark, and simplified forms. Gauguin's use of these elements, inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, reflects his search for a more primitive and expressive art. "Woman with Figs" is a striking example of Gauguin's distinctive style and his fascination with the culture of Tahiti.
