"Parau Api" (What News?), also known as "Parau Api, Aka What News," is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1892. This artwork is emblematic of Gauguin's quest for a primitive and unspoiled culture that he believed still existed in Tahiti, away from the industrialization and moral constraints of Europe. The painting is a vivid representation of Gauguin's impressions of Tahitian life and his interpretation of the island's exotic beauty and culture.

The artwork features two Tahitian women seated in a lush, tropical landscape, which is rendered in Gauguin's distinctive style that combines bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines. The title, "Parau Api," translates to "What News?" in English, suggesting a moment of casual conversation or inquiry between the women, which reflects Gauguin's interest in the daily lives and social interactions of the Tahitian people. This piece is a testament to Gauguin's innovative use of color and form, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives and cultural commentary through his art.

"Parau Api" is celebrated for its contribution to the Primitivism movement, in which European artists sought inspiration from non-Western cultures, believing them to possess a more authentic connection to nature and the spiritual world. Gauguin's work, including this painting, played a crucial role in challenging traditional Western notions of beauty and art, paving the way for future avant-garde movements.

Today, "Parau Api" is held in high regard within the art community and is considered a key work in understanding Gauguin's artistic legacy and his profound impact on the development of modern art. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, continuing to captivate audiences with its rich colors, intriguing subject matter, and the story of Gauguin's search for an idyllic paradise.
