Description
During his travels in the Pacific islands, Paul Gauguin embarked on a journey that went beyond his role as an artist. He transformed into a budding ethnologist, displaying an insatiable curiosity for Maori culture and rituals. This fascination with local customs and beliefs became an invaluable source of inspiration for his artistic work. The subjects he discovered within this rich culture found their place in his paintings, creating a bridge between his art and Maori heritage. See more
However, the Pacific islands exerted a much broader charm on Gauguin than just culture. He was mesmerized by the carefree beauty of the local inhabitants, captivated by their tranquil way of life. This fascination found expression in his works, which depicted a paradisiacal Oceania. However, even at that time, the shadow of Western arrival was already beginning to cast a pall over this paradise, bringing changes that would transform life on these islands forever.
In his painting, Gauguin dared to break free from Western artistic conventions. His primitive style and bold use of colors revolutionized how art was perceived in his era. Whether it was the purple and lilac ground in "Words of the Devil" or the yellow wall serving as the backdrop for "The Girl with the Mango," Gauguin deliberately departed from traditional norms, resulting in a prodigious explosion of colors in his art.
However, despite his escape to these distant lands, he could not evade a sense of provincialism that occasionally caught up with him. Western habits and behaviors that he sought to escape seemed to creep in at times, often in the form of grotesque parodies, in this remote French colony. This dissonance between his desire to flee civilization and the reality he sometimes encountered was a source of disillusionment, as reflected in this excerpt from his work "Noa-Noa."
Thus, Gauguin's voyages in the Pacific were much more than mere artistic journeys. They were profound explorations of culture, human nature, color, and artistic freedom, each of these elements leaving an indelible mark on his work and on the history of art.
