"Ta Matete (We Shall Not Go to Market Today)" is a notable painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, completed in 1892 during his first stay in Tahiti. The painting is currently housed in the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland. Gauguin's work is renowned for its bold experimentation with color and depictions of life in Tahiti, which he portrayed as an idyllic paradise untouched by the influences of European civilization.

"Ta Matete" is a vivid depiction of a scene at a Tahitian marketplace, although the title suggests a departure from daily activities. The painting features several Tahitian women in various poses, dressed in traditional garments, with a background that includes tropical vegetation and hints of local architecture. The composition and use of color reflect Gauguin's synthesis of the everyday life of the Tahitians with his symbolic, and at times, abstract approach. This work is often discussed in the context of Gauguin's exploration of the themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and the exoticization of the Tahitian people.

Gauguin's style in "Ta Matete" is characterized by flat planes of color and a departure from the traditional European perspective, which aligns with his post-impressionistic tendencies. The painting is a significant example of how Gauguin’s works during his time in Tahiti diverged from European artistic conventions and how he sought to capture the essence of what he perceived as an untainted indigenous lifestyle. This work, among others from his Tahiti period, contributed significantly to Gauguin's enduring legacy in the art world and continues to be a subject of extensive scholarly interest and critique, particularly in discussions related to post-colonial studies.
