Maruru (Thank You) is a 1894 ink by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a figure with long hair and a beard, wearing a loincloth, sitting on a rock. The figure is surrounded by other people, and there are mountains and clouds in the background. The scene is depicted in a simple, bold style. The artist has used strong lines and dark colors to create a sense of drama and emotion. The figures are stylized, with exaggerated features, and the landscape is simplified, with bold shapes and textures. The painting is a woodcut, a technique that involves carving a design into a block of wood and then printing it onto paper. It's a style that's associated with the Impressionist and Realist movements. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to explore the work of Gauguin, Paul.
