1895
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Interior of a Hut (Interieur de case) is a 1895 ink by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows a dim, shadowy room with rough walls and a low ceiling. In the foreground, two women sit on the floor—one rests her head on her hand, the other leans against a post. Behind them, a third woman lies on a simple bed, her body turned away. The space feels cramped, with a small window letting in faint light. Notice how the artist used bold, dark lines to create shapes instead of soft shading. This makes the scene feel both raw and slightly dreamlike. Next, check out the technique: woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood blocks.
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (; French: ; 7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.
