Galerie Mont Nave Nave Moe – Paul Gauguin^ Gauguin

Nave Nave Moe, a major post-impressionist work by Paul Gauguin, is an ode to primitive harmony. This is demonstrated by the delicate balance of shapes and colours that run through the canvas. Here, Gauguin plays with the contrast between the bold lines that delineate the figures and the soft shades that permeate the landscape. Synthetism, a movement he helped to forge, is expressed here by the articulation of coloured and symbolic planes, which give a singular intensity to the whole.

In his work, Gauguin blurs the boundaries between genres. The painting is both a landscape and a genre scene, a fusion of the real and spiritual worlds. Polynesian women move about in a tropical Garden of Eden, creating a scene of serene sensuality. It is a moment of harmony, captured and magnified by Gauguin’s visionary talent.
