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 Paul Gauguin print titled Nafea Faa Ipoipo, or When Will You Marry?, remains one of the most significant works of the late 19th-century Post-Impressionist movement. Produced in 1891, this work captures the complex cultural dynamics of the South Pacific through a bold, flat application of color and rhythmic lines. The composition features two women: one in traditional Tahitian attire and the other in a high-collared pink missionary dress. This visual dichotomy serves as a commentary on the changing social structures of the island.
When you select a Paul Gauguin print for your home, you are choosing a piece of Post Impressionist fine art that challenges the conventional European perspective of the time. The background is divided into horizontal bands of saturated color, where a chrome yellow meadow meets a pool of blue water, framed by distant purple mountains. This flat, decorative style, often referred to as Synthetism, emphasizes the emotional quality of the color over literal realism.
Exploring the Paul Gauguin print Aesthetic
In this specific Paul Gauguin print, the figure in the foreground wears a white sleeveless top and a red patterned wrap, known as a pareo. Her posture is grounded, reflecting a sense of permanence and tradition. Behind her, the second figure sits more upright, her pink Western-style dress signifying the colonial influence that Gauguin often lamented. The interaction between these figures is subtle, conveyed through their divergent gazes and physical proximity within the tropical landscape.
This Tahitian Art Poster is reproduced using high-definition scanning to preserve the texture of the original brushstrokes and the subtle variations in the paint layers. By using archival inks, we ensure that the deep blues, earthy ochres, and vivid greens remain stable over time, resisting the fading typically associated with standard printing methods. The 200 GSM museum-grade matte finish provides a non-reflective surface, making it ideal for spaces with natural lighting where glare might otherwise distract from the intricate details of the Tahitian women wall art.
