Paul Gauguin did during the last years of his life.
Paul Gauguin was born on June 7, 1848
Oil paintings from the life of the natives of South Sea islands.
He lived in Paris, in Copenhagen, in Tahiti and finally on one of the Marquesas Islands. Paul Gauguin lived in Papeete on the island of Tahiti in the Society Islands, and later in Atuona on the island of Hiva Oa in the Marquesas, where he died. Both of these are in the country of French Polynesia.
Paul Gauguin quit his job at the bank to pursue a career in painting, driven by his passion for art and a desire for a more fulfilling life. He felt constrained by the routine of his banking job and sought to express his creativity and explore new artistic styles. This decision marked the beginning of his transformation into a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. Ultimately, Gauguin's bold choice allowed him to explore themes of color, symbolism, and the human experience in his work.
Gauguin did not limit himself to a few subjects. He painted people, puppies, still lifes, Christ on the cross etc. During his last few years, however, he lived on some South Sea islands. There he used the natives as models.
The painting is by Paul Gauguin. He became disenchanted by the ugliness of city life and after seeing a brochure about Tahiti he left Paris. The time period was about 1892 when this painting was done.
On the South Sea islands people are happy, mostly carefree. They live with and from the nature, the climate is enjoyable. He does not tell us he was ill and suffering and the life of the natives was not what he painted.
after the impressionist movement, which was in the late-19th century to the early 20th century, they decided to change it, instead of the paintings that didn't describe the things or the people they changed it to describe the things and the people and the theme was more happy and jolly than the peaceful impressionism art.
