PAUL GAUGUIN. 1848-1903

192 SELF-PORTRAIT

Oil on canvas. 46 X 37 cm. Inv. No 3264 Signed lower left: PC О

In 1903 Gauguin sent this picture to Daniel de Mon-freid in Paris, asking him to show and sell it to Gus-tave Fayet. The picture is painted on the coarse, thick-grained canvas frequently used by Gauguin in the 1890s. Wildenstein and Rewald date it to 1888— 90, F. Cachin to 1888. However, the picture is stylistically closer to Gauguin's works of the 1890s. Provenance: The G. Fayet Collection, Paris (probably from 1903); until 1918 The S. Shchukin Collection, Moscow; 1918—48 The Museum of Modern Western

193 CAFE AT ARLES. 1888

Oil on canvas. 72 X 92 cm. Inv. No 3367 Signed and dated twice, lower right and lower left: P. Gauguin 88

The picture was painted in November 1888 at Aries where Gauguin arrived on Van Gogh's invitation. It depicts the interior of a cafe owned by J. Ginoux, whose wife is also portrayed here. A preliminary drawing for the Moscow canvas portraying Mme Ginoux is in the Hanley Collection (Bradford, Penn., USA). Several oil copies of this drawing were made by Van Gogh. Gauguin describes Cafe at Aries in a letter to Emile Bernard dated November 1888, in which he mentions all the persons depicted, except for the postman Roulin, seated on the right; he can be recognized from a portrait painted by Van Gogh. An Arlesienne resembling Mme Ginoux figures in Gauguin's picture of 1888, An Old Arlesienne (The Art Institute of Chicago), and the zincograph The Spinsters (1889).

There are many sketches of Arlesian women resembling Mme Ginoux in Gauguin's notebooks (R. Huyghe, Garnets de Gauguin, Paris, 1952, p. 19).

Oil on canvas. 66 X 89 cm. Inv. No 3269 Signed and dated center right: P. Gauguin 92 Inscribed lower left: Aha oe feii? Gauguin painted this picture during his first visit to Tahiti. In December 1892 he sent it with several other pictures to an exhibition in Denmark. In his letter of December 8, 1892 Gauguin begs his wife not to sell this canvas for less than 800 francs. Gauguin describes this picture in his diary Noa Noa: "On the shore, despite the heat, two sisters are lying after bathing in the graceful poses of resting animals; they speak of yesterday's love and the morrow's victories. The recollection causes them to quarrel: 'What! Are you jealous?'i Provenance: from 1895 The Leclanche Collection,

195 HER NAME IS VAIRAUMATI(VAIRAUMATI TEI О A). 1892

Oil on canvas. 91 X 68 cm. Inv. No 3266 Signed and dated lower left: Paul Gauguin 92 Tahiti Inscribed bottom center: Vairaumati tei oa The picture was painted during Gauguin's first Ta-hitian period. Vairaumati is the heroine of a Maori legend which Gauguin retells in Noa Noa. A variant of the Moscow picture, dated the same year, is in the William S. Paley Collection in New York. On the evidence of John Rewald, the model for the New York picture was Tehura, Gauguin's vahine. The same woman is apparently depicted in the Moscow picture. Provenance: until 1918 The S.

196 LANDSCAPE WITH PEACOCKS. 1892

Oil on canvas. 115 X 86 cm. Inv. No 3369 Signed, inscribed and dated lower right: Matamoe P. Gauguin 92

The picture was painted during Gauguin's first Tahi-tian period. The Tahitian word Matamoe is usually translated as dead or alien; in this latter meaning it probably refers to the peacocks, which, according to Maori legends, were not original inhabitants of the islands. This is the first of Gauguin's works bought by Ivan Morozov.

(ТЕ ARII VAHINE). 1896 Oil on canvas. 97 X 130 cm. Inv. No 3265 Signed, inscribed and dated lower right: Те Aril Vahine. P. Gauguin 1896

The picture was painted during Gauguin's second Tahitian period. According to Perruchot, the model for this canvas was Gauguin's vahine Pau'ura. Describing the picture to Daniel de Monfreid, Gauguin wrote: "I think that in color I have never before achieved anything of such a majestic deep sonority." There is a watercolor done from the Moscow picture in the W. Chaney Collection in New York. A variant of the work (according to Wildenstein, a study for the Pushkin Museum canvas) is in the J. Thannhauser Collection in New York. Gauguin used the same subject in his woodcuts and wood sculptures.

Oil on canvas. 134 X 95 cm. Inv. No 3368

Signed and dated lower left: P. Gauguinj99 The picture is stylistically typical of Gauguin's works of the 1890s. After 1898 the artist frequently painted many-figure scenes of a religious and philosophical character ( The Last Supper, 1899, in the Kathie Gra-noff Collection, Paris). The Great Buddha was bought by Ivan Morozov from Ambroise Vollard for 20,000 francs.

A variant of the same year is in the collection of E. von der Heidt at Ascona (Switzerland).
