Gauguin Street in Tahiti Print

Add a piece of French Post-Impressionism to your collection with this print of Street in Tahiti, 1891 by Paul Gauguin, showcased in the exhibition A Century of Modern Art. Vibrant and full of life, Gauguin’s painting captures his intense reaction to the mysteries of Tahiti, which he saw as a ‘new Eden’. This early work from his time there showcases the island’s limpid light, rich colours and lush landscape through strong contours, flattened shapes and rhythmic brushstrokes. However, subtle undertones of sadness emerge in the brooding woman and heavy clouds, hinting at the tension between Gauguin’s fantasy and the complexities of the reality he encountered.
