Where Do We Come From? and Arearea \u2013 the most searched<\/h2>\n

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?<\/a> (1897\u201398) is the large frieze Gauguin painted in Tahiti and considered his most important work. It is read from right to left, from a sleeping baby to an old woman at the end of life, with a blue idol in the background. The original hangs in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Its long, narrow format makes it a natural choice above a sofa or a sideboard.<\/p>\n

Arearea (Joyousness)<\/a> (1892) shows two Tahitian women sitting under a tree<\/a>, one playing a flute, with a red dog in the foreground. The Tahitian title means joyfulness or amusement, and the painting hangs in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris.<\/p>\n

Gauguin\u2019s paintings in our gallery<\/h2>\n

Gauguin was a stockbroker in Paris before he became a painter, and his work reads as a journey south: from Paris to Brittany, Arles and finally the South Seas. Choose a period first and the painting second.<\/p>\n

Paris and Brittany (1879\u20131890)<\/h3>\n

His early The Market Gardens of Vaugirard<\/a> is still close to the Impressionists. In Pont-Aven in Brittany he began to paint in flat, outlined planes of colour: Breton Girls Dancing, Pont-Aven<\/a> and Vision of the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)<\/a>, where Breton women after a sermon see Jacob wrestling with the angel. The Yellow Christ<\/a> and The Green Christ<\/a> place Christ in the Breton countryside among local women, and Portrait of the Artist with the Yellow Christ<\/a> shows him in front of his own Yellow Christ. From the same years come La belle Ang\u00e8le<\/a>, Four Breton Women<\/a> and The Black Pigs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arles with Van Gogh (1888)<\/h3>\n

In late 1888 Gauguin spent nine weeks with Vincent van Gogh in Arles. There he painted Vincent van Gogh Painting Sunflowers<\/a>, Les Alyscamps<\/a> and Caf\u00e9 at Arles<\/a> \u2013 a short, intense stay that ended after their quarrel in December.<\/p>\n

Tahiti and the South Seas (1891\u20131903)<\/h3>\n

In 1891 Gauguin sailed to Tahiti, and his colours became bold and symbolic. Ia Orana Maria<\/a> shows a Tahitian mother and child as the Virgin and Jesus, and Fatata te Miti (By the Sea)<\/a> women bathing in the sea. Tahitian Women on the Beach<\/a>, Two Tahitian Women<\/a>, Three Tahitian Women<\/a> and The Siesta<\/a> are scenes of Tahitian women at rest, Ta matete (The Market)<\/a> a group of women on a bench, and Mahana no atua (Day of the God)<\/a> a celebration before a great idol. Spirit of the Dead Watching (Manao tupapau)<\/a> and Nevermore (O Tahiti)<\/a> are darker night scenes with a reclining nude, while Woman Holding a Fruit; Where Are You Going?<\/a>, Aha oe feii? (What! Are You Jealous?)<\/a>, Nave nave moe (Sacred Spring)<\/a> and The Birth (Te tamari no atua)<\/a> belong to his most colourful Tahitian work.<\/p>\n

Which Gauguin suits which room?<\/h2>\n

Gauguin\u2019s Tahitian paintings bring warm, saturated colour into a room: Arearea (Joyousness)<\/a>, Three Tahitian Women<\/a> or Tahitian Women on the Beach<\/a> suit a living room, a dining room or a bright hallway. The wide Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?<\/a> belongs above a long sofa or a sideboard. The Breton scenes, such as Breton Girls Dancing, Pont-Aven<\/a> or Vision of the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)<\/a>, are calmer and suit a study or a reading corner, while The Yellow Christ<\/a> and Ia Orana Maria<\/a> are a natural gift for a christening or a wedding. Choose a painting about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, and hang it so that its centre sits about 150 cm above the floor.<\/p>\n

Sizes, prices, custom size and frame<\/h2>\n

Each painting has its own range of sizes, matched to the proportions of the original, and the product page shows the price of every size. Across the gallery there are 156 formats, from 23 x 19 cm to 375 x 139 cm, and prices start at 108 \u20ac. If your wall needs a different measurement, send us the width and height: we paint the painting in your size<\/a>. A frame is available on request, and our 3D application shows our frame profiles on the painting you choose. For a gift, a wall art voucher<\/a> lets the recipient choose the painting and the size.<\/p>\n

How we hand-paint a Gauguin<\/h2>\n

Every painting is painted to order by hand in oil or acrylic on canvas, layer by layer, by our painters, who work in different locations. With Gauguin the work is in the colour: large flat areas of pure, saturated paint, dark outlines and the slightly matt surface of his canvases. Because each canvas is painted by hand, every copy is slightly different. Stretching and framing are done in our workshop in Slovenia, and you choose how the painting is sent: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher ready to hang, or framed. Before dispatch we send you a photograph of the finished painting, and if something is not right, we correct it before the painting is sent.<\/p>\n

Paul Gauguin in brief<\/h2>\n

Paul Gauguin was born on 7 June 1848 in Paris and spent part of his childhood in Peru. He worked as a stockbroker and only became a full-time painter in 1883. He painted in Brittany, in Arles with Van Gogh and, from 1891, in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, and is counted among the founders of Synthetism and Symbolism in painting. He died on 8 May 1903 at Atuona on the island of Hiva Oa. Read more in Paul Gauguin \u2013 life and interesting facts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

What does the painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? mean?<\/h4>\n

Gauguin painted it in Tahiti in 1897\u201398 as a summary of human life. Read from right to left, it moves from a newborn child through youth and adulthood to an old woman near death; the idol in the background stands for the beyond. The original is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.<\/p>\n

What does Arearea mean?<\/h4>\n

Arearea is Tahitian for joyfulness or amusement. The painting from 1892 shows two women resting under a tree, one playing a flute, with a red dog in front of them; the original is in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris.<\/p>\n

Which are Gauguin\u2019s most famous paintings?<\/h4>\n

Besides Where Do We Come From? and Arearea, the best known are Vision of the Sermon, The Yellow Christ, Ia Orana Maria, Spirit of the Dead Watching, Nevermore and Tahitian Women on the Beach. All of them are available in our gallery as hand-painted oil paintings.<\/p>\n

How much does a hand-painted Gauguin copy cost?<\/h4>\n

Prices start at 108 \u20ac and depend on the painting and the size you choose; every product page lists the price of each size. Large formats such as Where Do We Come From? cost more.<\/p>\n

Is your Gauguin painting a print?<\/h4>\n

No \u2013 every painting is painted by hand in oil or acrylic on canvas; it is not a print or a poster. You can see the brushwork and the texture of the paint, every copy is slightly different, and you see your painting in a photograph before dispatch.<\/p>\n

Which size should I choose?<\/h4>\n

Measure the furniture below where the painting will hang and choose a painting about two thirds of its width: above a three-seater sofa that is usually 120 to 160 cm, above a desk or in a hallway 50 to 70 cm. If none of the listed sizes fits, we paint the painting in your size.<\/p>\n

How is the painting sent \u2013 rolled, stretched or framed?<\/h4>\n

As you choose: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher and ready to hang, or framed. Stretching and framing are done in our workshop in Slovenia, and the painting is wrapped in protective film and packed in a sturdy box.<\/p>\n

How long does delivery take?<\/h4>\n

Each painting is painted to order, so delivery takes 15 to 45 working days, depending on the size. Before dispatch you receive a photograph of the finished painting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","link":"https:\/\/svetslik.si\/en\/paul-gauguin\/","name":"Paul Gauguin","slug":"paul-gauguin","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":9801,"meta":[],"menu_order":13,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPaul Gauguin paintings \u2013 Tahiti, Arearea, hand-painted in oil on canvas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"81 Paul Gauguin paintings hand-painted in oil on canvas: Where Do We Come From?, Arearea, Three Tahitian Women and more.
