Painting Description
"Nafea Faa Ipoipo" (When Will You Marry?), painted in 1892, is one of the most renowned works by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This masterpiece is emblematic of Gauguin's time in Tahiti and is a quintessential example of his Primitivist style, which he developed after becoming disillusioned with the so-called "civilized" world and its art. The painting features two Tahitian women sitting against a vivid landscape of lush greenery and a bright yellow sky, which reflects Gauguin's use of bold colors and strong, simplified forms.
The title, "When Will You Marry?", is derived from the Tahitian phrase "Nafea faa ipoipo" which is believed to have been spoken by one of the women depicted in the painting. Gauguin's work is characterized by a synthesis of the local environment and the artist's interpretation of the native culture, which he often idealized and romanticized. The painting is notable for its commentary on the complexities of cultural identity, colonialism, and the noble savage myth.
Gauguin's time in Tahiti was a period of prolific artistic output, and "Nafea Faa Ipoipo" stands as a testament to his search for an unspoiled paradise and his exploration of the themes of tradition and change. The painting has a storied history, having changed hands several times and commanding one of the highest prices ever paid for an artwork when it was privately sold in 2015. Today, "Nafea Faa Ipoipo" is celebrated for its historical significance, its impact on the Primitivism movement, and its influence on the trajectory of modern art.
