Gauguin and the Decorative Style

About the exhibition

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presented Gauguin and the Decorative Style in 1966. The National Gallery of Art’s published object histories document 3 surviving works in this reconstruction: Arearea no Varua Ino (Words of the Devil) [recto] by Paul Gauguin (1894; watercolor monotype on Japan paper, mounted to tan cardboard on whose verso is a fragment of another print ); Tahitian Shore [recto] by Paul Gauguin (c. 1900; traced monotype in warm black and brown on off-white wove paper); Two Marquesans [recto] by Paul Gauguin (c. 1902; traced monotype in warm black retouched slightly with an olive pigment). The links follow native object identifiers and accessions, retaining the history’s catalogue references and the present unqualified maker attribution. This evidence identifies selected exhibited paintings, drawings or original prints; it does not establish artist attendance, ownership by the host, or a complete checklist. Exact opening and closing days remain unconfirmed.
