Tahitian women on the beach - Paul Gauguin
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Emanating from the Post-Impressionist movement, Paul Gauguin's Tahitian Women on the Beach presents an exotic and colourful vision of Polynesian life. In its bold use of primary colours, the painting depicts two seated women, one facing the viewer, the other facing the ocean stretching out behind them. There is a hint of melancholy in their contemplative gaze.
It is not simply a landscape or a portrait, but a skilful marriage of these genres, also incorporating a genre scene thanks to the presence of the fruit near the women. The simplified forms and flattened space, typical of Gauguin's synthetism, express a sense of distance from Western reality, inviting the viewer to enter the dreamy, colourful world of Tahiti.
