  • Painting Description

    Manao Tupapau (also known as The Spirit of the Dead Keeps Watch or The Spirit of the Dead Watching) is a notable oil on burlap canvas painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1892. The painting is a significant work from Gauguin's first trip to Tahiti, a period that greatly influenced his artistic style and subject matter.

    The painting depicts a young Tahitian girl lying on her stomach, with an eerie spirit figure in the background. The subject of the painting is believed to be Gauguin's 13-year-old Tahitian wife, Teha'amana, although this has been a point of controversy among art historians. The painting is renowned for its bold use of color, its exploration of cultural and spiritual themes, and its departure from traditional Western artistic conventions.

    Manao Tupapau reflects Gauguin's fascination with Tahitian culture, spirituality, and the concept of the 'primitive'. The painting is considered a significant contribution to the Symbolist movement and is often discussed in the context of 19th-century colonialism and the exoticization of non-Western cultures.

    The painting is currently housed in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. It continues to be a subject of study and critique in the fields of art history and cultural studies, contributing to the ongoing discourse on the legacy and impact of European colonialism in the arts.
