When Will You Marry?

By Paul Gauguin, 1892
Gauguin traveled to Tahiti for the first time in 1891. His hope was to find an edenic paradise where he could create pure 'primitive' art, rather than the imitating primitive works made by painters in France.
He painted many pictures of native women: nude, dressed in traditional Tahitian clothes, and dressed in Western-style dresses.
"When Will You Marry?" is, ostensibly, an image of two Tahitian women, one in native dress and with a white flower in her hair, and another looks asquint. In the background are the Tahitian highlands. We can read the painting as an allegory – the first woman advertises her availability for men with the white flower, she’s waiting to be colonized and taken just as Tahiti has been. Then, she too, will abandon native clothes for western ones.
In 2015 the painting was sold for $300 million to Qatari royalty.
