"Te Atua" (The Gods) is a painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first trip to Tahiti in 1891. The artwork is emblematic of Gauguin's search for a primordial spiritual and cultural purity, which he believed to be present in the so-called "primitive" societies of the South Pacific. Gauguin's Tahitian period marked a significant shift in his artistic style, characterized by bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines influenced by the island's indigenous art and culture.

The painting depicts a scene of Tahitian deities, reflecting Gauguin's interest in the island's mythology and his interpretation of the native religious beliefs. "Te Atua" is notable for its synthesis of Post-Impressionist and Symbolist elements, with Gauguin using the canvas to express his own philosophical inquiries into the nature of divinity and the meaning of existence. The figures are rendered with a sense of timelessness and a dreamlike quality that is typical of Gauguin's mature work.

As with many of Gauguin's pieces from this period, "Te Atua" is significant for its contribution to the Primitivism movement in art, which romanticized the cultures of non-Western peoples and often appropriated their aesthetic forms. The painting is also a testament to Gauguin's complex relationship with colonialism; while he sought an escape from European civilization, his work was inevitably shaped by the colonial context in which he lived and the power dynamics at play.

"Te Atua" is part of a larger body of work that has been both celebrated for its artistic innovation and critiqued for its exoticization of Tahitian culture. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic significance and its place within the broader context of Gauguin's life and the history of Western art's engagement with non-Western cultures.
