Painting Description
''Te Faruru'' (also known as ''Here We Make Love'') is an artwork by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti from 1891 to 1893. This period marked a significant shift in Gauguin's artistic style as he sought to escape the confines of European civilization and the traditional Western approach to art. Influenced by the island's tropical landscape, vibrant colors, and what he perceived as the unspoiled and authentic culture of the Tahitian people, Gauguin's work from this period often reflects a romanticized, exotic view of Tahitian life.
The title ''Te Faruru'' is derived from the Tahitian language and can be translated to "Here We Make Love," which is indicative of the sensual and erotic themes present in many of Gauguin's Tahitian paintings. The work is characterized by its use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines, which were hallmarks of Gauguin's mature style. He often incorporated elements of Tahitian mythology and daily life into his compositions, blending them with his own artistic symbolism and personal philosophy.
While ''Te Faruru'' is not as widely known as some of Gauguin's other Tahitian paintings, such as ''Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?'' or ''Spirit of the Dead Watching,'' it nevertheless represents an important piece within his oeuvre, exemplifying his quest for a more primal and direct form of expression. Gauguin's works from this period, including ''Te Faruru,'' have been both praised for their innovative approach to color and form, and critiqued for their colonial gaze and idealization of Tahitian culture.
The painting is part of a larger narrative of Gauguin's life and work, which has been the subject of extensive scholarly research and debate. Gauguin's influence on modern art is significant, as he paved the way for future avant-garde movements, including Primitivism and Symbolism. ''Te Faruru'' contributes to the understanding of Gauguin's complex legacy, which continues to be re-evaluated in the context of postcolonial studies and changing attitudes towards the representation of non-Western cultures in art.
