Description:
|
|
In 1891, Gauguin sailed to Polynesia to escape European civilization and "everything that is artificial and conventional". His works of that period are full of quasi-religious symbolism and an exoticized view of the inhabitants of Polynesia. In 1896, he painted Nave Nave Mahana in Tahiti after he came back from a short stay in France. A group of mysterious young women seem to be gathering fruit from the branches of plants. Their feet are solidly anchored on the red ground. Behind them, we can see a yellow sky. Frozen, distant, silent, with eyes cast down and solemn faces, the figures are perhaps a revealing indication of the artist's isolation and ill health at the time of painting.
