Context:
Leaving behind his family and successful career as a stockbroker, Gauguin left France in 1891 and went to live on the Polynesian island of Tahiti. Disgusted with the materialistic values of European civilization, he sought to capture the expressive and magical qualities inherent in Tahitian art. He wrote, "I have escaped everything that is artificial and conventional. Here I enter into Truth, become one with nature." This canvas is among the first paintings he completed on the island. The simplifiedforms and rich colors were intended to be both symbolic and mysterious, evoking private thoughts and emotions. "I obtain symphonies," he wrote, "harmonies that represent nothing real in the absolute sense of the word."
