Context:
Gauguin painted The Call a year before his death in the remote Marquesas Islands of the French Polynesia, the artist's fourth and final stop since he began his flight from civilization in 1891. The painting belongs to a series of late works that explorethe mysteries of life and death. Two women stand in the center of the composition; their bare feet and the white lily in the foreground suggest they may be on sacred ground. One woman glances toward the viewer, but shields herself with one hand. The other woman gestures to something or someone outside the picture, perhaps in response to a "call" from fate or destiny. Poetic, dreamlike, and filled with exotic colors, The Call fulfills Gauguin's goal of freeing himself from naturalism.
