Paul Gauguin: Haere Pape, Paul Gauguin, 1892, Oil on canvas, Fed up with industrialized Europe, Paul Gauguin went to Tahiti in 1891 seeking a simpler, more 'primitive' way of life, one uncorrupted by modern technology and uptight social mores. Although the island was in fact changing—it had been colonized by the French--Gauguin still painted the Tahiti of his fantasy. Here, as in so many of his canvases from the period, he depicts a native Tahitian woman wearing a traditional pareo. Barefoot, tranquil, and at ease in her surroundings, the woman is imagined as a corporeal creature in perfect harmony with nature., Overall: 36 x 26 1/2 in. (91.4 x 67.3 cm).
