"Mahana No Atua" №23982

Art. number: 23982

Description


When returning to France in 1893, Gauguin spends most of his time in Paris, writing and portraying his "Noa Noa" project - a fictional story about his Tahitian experience. The picture "The Day of God" (Mahana No Atua) is from this period.

The painting recreates a marine landscape, with the composition divided into three horizontal lines. At the top, the islanders perform a ritual near a towering sculpture. In the middle line, three symmetrically arranged figures are placed against a field of pink tooth in postures, which can mean birth, life, and death. The woman at the center associated with the sculpture at the top has the typical Tahitian radiance and is a comparison with Eve's Christian figure in paradise. The bottom line of the picture is filled with brilliant, contrasting shades reflected in the water. Gauguin's post-impressionist style, using flat, curved shapes and vivid color, has affected many artists since the early 20th century.


The reproduction "Mahana No Atua" is a high quality print that is cushioned on a solid back to a size of 30x40, above which the canvas is stretched on a subframe. Arranged with an appropriate frame, reproduction can be the perfect gift for a close person or complement to your home.
