Joyfulness (Arearea)

By Paul Gauguin, 1892
This artwork was created during Gauguin’s first stay in Tahiti; where, he took his inspiration for imaginary scenes in the paintings from what he saw around him, as well as from local stories and ancient religious traditions. Arearea is representative of these works where dream and reality coexist.
In the foreground, there are two women seated in the centre. The sky has disappeared; a succession of colored planes – green, yellow, red – forms the structure of the composition.
Arearea is one of the collections of Tahitian paintings exhibited in Paris in November 1893. Gauguin wanted to justify his exotic trip. However, this exhibition did not receive the enthusiastic response the artist had hoped for. Nonetheless, Gauguin considered Arearea to be one of his best paintings, and in 1895, he went so far as to buy it back for himself before leaving Europe for good.
