How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Gauguin Arearea Print captures the vibrant energy and symbolic depth of Paul Gauguin’s first extended stay in Tahiti. Created in 1892, the original work, also known as Joyousness, represents a pivotal moment in the transition from traditional Impressionism to the more stylized and emotional world of Synthetism. The composition is anchored by two Tahitian women seated on a lush green field, their presence radiating a sense of quiet contemplation and musical harmony as one plays a traditional flute. In the immediate foreground, a bright orange dog stands out against the greenery, serving as a decorative and symbolic element that challenges conventional naturalist perspectives.
The Aesthetic Legacy of the Gauguin Arearea Print
Integrating a Gauguin Arearea Print into your collection brings the warmth of the South Pacific into any interior environment. This specific period of the artist’s life was characterized by a rejection of Western urban industrialization in favor of what he perceived as a more primitive and spiritual existence. The painting is divided into horizontal bands of color, a technique that emphasizes the flat surface of the canvas rather than traditional three-dimensional perspective. This approach became a hallmark of the French Symbolism oil painting reproduction style, where color was used to express emotion rather than literal reality.
The background of the image features a group of figures dancing before a sacred statue, or ‘tiki,’ suggesting a connection to ancient Polynesian traditions and myths. By choosing a Gauguin Arearea Print, you are highlighting an era of art history where the boundaries between reality and imagination began to blur. The use of saturated yellows, deep greens, and rich reds creates a visual harmony that is characteristic of 1892 Polynesian landscape decor. Every detail, from the delicate patterns on the women’s clothing to the soft clouds of incense or smoke in the background, is rendered with precision to maintain the integrity of the original vision.
