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.
The Gauguin Puppies Poster represents a significant departure from traditional naturalism, marking a pivotal moment in art history. Painted in 1888 during the artist’s stay in Brittany, this work illustrates the shift toward Synthetism, where the artist prioritizes emotional expression and two-dimensional patterns over realistic perspective. The central focus of three small, spotted canines huddled around a dark pan of milk creates a domestic yet avant-garde scene that challenged the conventions of the late 19th century.
Historical Context of the Gauguin Puppies Poster
This specific Gauguin Puppies Poster captures the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, which were flooding the Parisian art market at the time. You can observe this in the heavy dark outlines surrounding the puppies and the fruit, a technique known as cloisonnism. By flattening the space and utilizing bold, unmodulated colors, the artist created a visual language that paved the way for modernism. This 1888 vintage French painting is a testament to the experimental spirit of the Post-Impressionist movement, moving away from the fleeting light of Impressionism toward a more structured and symbolic arrangement.
Visual Composition and Color Palette
The visual arrangement of the Gauguin Puppies Poster is meticulously organized. In the foreground, a white cloth draped over the table holds a collection of pears and apples, rendered with thick brushstrokes and deep ochre tones. The three blue goblets positioned in the center act as a rhythmic anchor, their deep cerulean hues contrasting sharply against the cream-colored tablecloth adorned with delicate floral patterns. The puppies themselves, with their dark brown spots and curved tails, provide a sense of life and movement in an otherwise static still life environment. This Post-Impressionist still life print is not merely a depiction of objects but a study in shape and color balance.
