EDITORS COMMENTS
Te Avae No Maria (The Month of Mary), 1899, by Paul Gauguin, is a captivating portrait that transports viewers to the enchanting Pacific Islands. This post-impressionist masterpiece, housed in the State Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, showcases Gauguin's mastery of color and his deep connection with nature. In this vibrant painting, a Polynesian woman stands gracefully amidst a lush tropical landscape adorned with blooming flowers and towering trees. Dressed in traditional attire, she holds a bouquet of blossoms delicately in her hands. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid hues captures the essence of the French Polynesia countryside. Gauguin's fascination with exotic cultures led him to leave France for Tahiti in search of artistic inspiration. His time spent among the native people greatly influenced his work, as seen in "Te Avae No Maria". Through this mesmerizing portrayal, he celebrates both the beauty of nature and the strength and gracefulness of Polynesian women. This stunning piece exemplifies Gauguin's unique style that blends impressionism with symbolic elements from various cultures. It serves as a testament to his ability to capture not only physical appearances but also emotions and cultural nuances through paint on canvas. "Te Avae No Maria" remains an enduring symbol of Gauguin's artistic genius while offering us an immersive glimpse into the rich heritage and natural splendor found within French Polynesia.
