Painting Description
''Mahana No Varua Ino'' (English: Day of the Evil Spirit), also known as ''Words of the Devil'' or ''Day of the God'', is an 1892 oil on burlap canvas painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created during Gauguin's first trip to Tahiti, the painting reflects his initial encounter with the island's culture, landscapes, and people, which deeply influenced his artistic style and thematic choices. The painting is a quintessential example of Gauguin's Primitivism, a movement characterized by a complex, often idealized depiction of the life, culture, and perceived "primitiveness" of non-Western peoples.
The artwork measures 66 cm × 89 cm (26 in × 35 in) and is currently housed in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. ''Mahana No Varua Ino'' is notable for its vivid color palette, flattened picture plane, and the synthesis of Tahitian motifs with European symbolism. The composition features a Tahitian landscape with figures that appear to be engaged in a variety of activities, some of which may be interpreted as daily life while others suggest spiritual or mythological significance.
Gauguin's time in Tahiti was marked by a search for an unspoiled culture and a desire to escape the constraints of European civilization. His works from this period, including ''Mahana No Varua Ino'', often grapple with themes of the exotic, the spiritual, and the tension between the native and the foreign. Gauguin's paintings are also known for their departure from Western artistic traditions, as he sought to capture the essence of the subjects rather than their realistic likenesses.
The painting's title, which translates to "Day of the Evil Spirit," hints at the artist's interpretation of Tahitian beliefs and the influence of the supernatural in their daily lives. Gauguin's use of bold outlines, strong colors, and simplified forms was revolutionary at the time and contributed to the development of modern art. ''Mahana No Varua Ino'' is a significant work in Gauguin's oeuvre, encapsulating his experimental approach to color, composition, and subject matter that challenged and expanded the boundaries of contemporary art at the close of the 19th century.
