"M. Loulou" is a painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1890 during his time in Tahiti. The work is a portrait that features a young Tahitian boy, known as Loulou, in a casual pose set against a backdrop that reflects Gauguin's synthesis of local Tahitian elements with the stylistic approaches he developed during his career. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, measuring 46.0 by 30.5 cm, and is part of a series of works that Gauguin produced while exploring the themes of exoticism, primitivism, and the noble savage, which were central to his artistic philosophy.

In "M. Loulou," Gauguin employs a bold color palette and a flattened pictorial space, characteristic of his mature style. The use of strong outlines and the juxtaposition of warm and cool colors reveal the influence of the cloisonnism technique, which Gauguin adapted from stained glass and medieval enameling to create a sense of depth and volume without traditional Renaissance perspective. The subject's relaxed demeanor and direct gaze engage the viewer, while the simplified forms and abstracted background reflect Gauguin's departure from European naturalism and his embrace of a more symbolic and spiritual representation of reality.

The painting is significant for its representation of Tahitian culture and its people, which became central to Gauguin's work after he left France in search of an "unspoiled" paradise. "M. Loulou" is emblematic of Gauguin's quest to capture the essence of the life he observed in Tahiti, free from the constraints of Western civilization. The work is also notable for its contribution to the Primitivist discourse, which has since been critically reevaluated for its colonial and exoticizing perspectives.

"M. Loulou" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Gauguin's artistic legacy and the broader context of late 19th-century art movements. The painting continues to be a subject of scholarly interest, particularly in discussions of cross-cultural representation and the post-colonial critique of Western narratives in art.
