"No Te Aha Oe Riri" (also known as "Why Are You Angry?") is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first trip to Tahiti in 1891. This work is part of a series of paintings in which Gauguin sought to capture the essence of Tahitian life, culture, and mythology, moving away from the European artistic conventions of his time. The painting features two Tahitian women sitting on a beach with a brooding, enigmatic atmosphere, which is characteristic of Gauguin's Tahitian period.

The title, "No Te Aha Oe Riri," translates to "Why Are You Angry?" in English, and it reflects Gauguin's interest in the emotional and spiritual lives of the Tahitians he encountered. The painting is imbued with symbolic elements and a rich color palette that became hallmarks of Gauguin's mature style. He often used these elements to express complex ideas about primitivism, the noble savage, and the search for a pre-industrial purity that he associated with the Tahitian people and their way of life.

Gauguin's time in Tahiti was crucial to the development of his artistic philosophy, as he sought an escape from the so-called "civilized" world of Europe. His works from this period, including "No Te Aha Oe Riri," are often interpreted as a critique of colonialism and a romanticized portrayal of an exotic paradise. However, these interpretations are also subject to criticism for perpetuating stereotypes and for Gauguin's own role as a part of the colonial presence in French Polynesia.

Today, "No Te Aha Oe Riri" is recognized as an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre and in the broader context of 19th-century art. It is studied for its innovative approach to color, form, and cultural representation, as well as for the complex and often controversial legacy of the artist himself. The painting is held in a prominent museum collection and continues to be a subject of scholarly research and public interest.
