EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Gauguin's masterpiece, "Nafea Faaipoipo (When are you Getting Married?), 1892". Painted with oil on canvas, this post-impressionist artwork measures 105x77.5 cm and is housed in the Rudolf Staechelins Family Foundation in Basel, Switzerland. Gauguin's painting transports us to the enchanting landscapes of French Polynesia, where a Tahitian woman stands on a sun-kissed beach. Dressed in vibrant sarongs that epitomize her exotic femininity, she gazes into the distance with an expression of curiosity and longing. The title itself, "Nafea Faaipoipo" translates to "When are you getting married?". This question lingers in the air as we ponder what lies behind her intense gaze. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Pacific island life while infusing it with his unique post-impressionist style. Through bold brushstrokes and vivid colors, Gauguin brings forth a sense of both tranquility and restlessness within this tropical paradise. This painting not only celebrates the beauty of its subject but also raises questions about civilization and cultural identity. It serves as a reminder of France's colonial presence in French Polynesia during that time period. As we immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing artwork by Paul Gauguin, we are transported to another world – one filled with mystery, jealousy, and timeless beauty.
