The Wave ☳ Gauguin ☵ Canvas

The Wave

Paul Gauguin (1888)

The Wave (1888, La Vague) by Paul Gauguin was painted during a trip to Brittany, France. It characterizes his evolving style from realistic portraits and landscapes to more symbolic representations. The perspective and scale, lack of horizon, and rainbow of color open the scene up to deeper interpretation. Painted from overhead (a bluff overlooking the beach), it depicts the rocks and waves of the ocean, with two beachgoers running in the surf.

Without A Frame

Ready to Hang Canvas

Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.

Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

With a Frame

Canvas Float Frame

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. Float frames feature a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas. No glass/glazing is used - canvases have a mildly reflective satin finish.
