Day of the God (Mahana no atua)

By Paul Gauguin, 1894
In 1891, Gauguin moved to the French colony of Tahiti in search of "ecstasy, calm, and art." He spent two years there and returned to France in 1893. Gauguin set out for Tahiti again on 28 June 1895 and arrived in September 1895. He spent the next six years living.
Day of the God is created in France between Gauguin’s stays in Tahiti. An imaginary depiction of the South Seas, it is dominated by an idol of the goddess Hina. To the right of her, women dance the upaupa (a traditional dance from Tahiti), a suggestive ancient Tahitian dance.
In a middle ground of pink sand sits a female bather flanked by ambiguously gendered figures lying on the sides. Although the arrangement of this trio seems symbolic, perhaps of birth, life, and death, Gauguin made its exact meaning a riddle.
Day of the God, one of the very few paintings Gauguin completed during this period, is closely related to his literary project.
