Paul Gauguin (French 1843-1903) LES VIEILLES FILLES À ARLES from THE VOLPINI SUITE signed in the plate zincograph (second state) Kornfeld Catalogue Raisonné number 9 sheet size: 32 by 47cm Les Vielles Filles à Arles (Old Maids of Arles) from the Volpini suite, was created for an exhibition that took place in a café during the 1889 World Fair. The world fairs were staged every eleven years from 1855 to 1900 with the intention of drawing the world to France where the best of French industry and culture was on display. Artists such as Claude Monet and Auguste Rodin took advantage of the influx of international visitors to Paris by putting on exhibitions of their work at the same time that the fair took place. Gauguin recognized the opportunity as well, but with a guerilla style tactic, the artist chose to infiltrate the actual grounds of the fair, without the authorisation of the state that other artists of the Académie des Beaux-Arts were awarded to exhibit in the grand halls. The venue for the show was Grand Café des Beaux-Arts where an order of mirrors which were to be used to decorate the café, fell through. Gauguin persuaded the owner of the café, Monsieur Volpini, to rather display the work of a number of artists calling themselves the Groupe Impressioniste et Synthetiste. While the exhibition was barely reviewed at the time, it would come to be known as the Volpini Exhibition and would be regarded later as a defining moment in Gauguin’s career. It is at this time that his ‘synthesist’ style of abstracting lines and form in order to evoke the artist’s inner thoughts and emotions, came to the fore. Theo van Gogh, Vincent van Gogh’s younger brother, a manager of a gallery and an advocate of Gauguin’s, encouraged Gauguin to supplement the seventeen canvasses exhibited with a portfolio of eleven prints, due to the growing appeal of printmaking at the time. All of the prints in the portfolio are inspired by the artist’s travels between 1886 and 1888. The subject matter of the print comes from a painting that Gauguin made the year before when he stayed with Vincent van Gogh in Arles. The artist found the women of Arles to be quite noble and he depicted them strolling through the park across the street from van Gogh’s house. They are dressed in the traditional shawls and headdresses of the region. They are an example of Gauguin’s fascination with rural life and the genuineness he found there, which would ultimately lead him to Tahiti, in search of further authenticity. The Volpini Suite was Gauguin’s first attempt at printmaking, and he may have learned the technique of lithography printed on zinc plates from Emile Bernard, who also exhibited in the Volpini show. For his first state Gaugain used canary yellow paper, and his second simili Japan paper, which may have reflected his appreciation of Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which he collected. This print is from the second state. While the exhibition was commercially unsuccessful, the show and the prints produced mark an important arc in the mythology of Gauguin and his desire to seek alternatives to what he found to be arestrictive way of being. - S.
