Artwork Details
In the Waves (1889, Dans les Vagues) by Paul Gauguin was created during his time in a small coastal village called Pont-Aven where he sought to immerse himself in nature and escape modern civilization. It depicts a nude figure throwing herself into the sea, a metaphor for forsaking the civilized and giving herself to the natural world. Exhibited in 1889, this representation helped establish Gauguin as a leader of the emerging Symbolist movement.

Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
