The Reproduction Process

Tahitian Landscape2. The painting by Paul Gauguin
Colors used:
Tahitian Landscape2

If one were to set Paul Gauguin’s paintings deriving from his first Tahitian Period side by side, it would be possible to track the artist’s growing admiration to various aspects of life in his new home. As it is wont to happen, the natural beauty caused the first impact on the artist, and through the remainder of his artistic career he would often return to the subject matter, producing a series of homonymous paintings, which are now spread around some of the greatest modern art museums.

Painted in 1891, within the first year of his arrival to Tahiti, this oil on canvas, which is now in possession of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the first impact of the Polynesian islands on Gauguin’s artistic career. In it, he portrays his initial awe at the lush environment that received him, with bright colors and the artist’s characteristic Post-Impressionist style, creating a plain and simplistic, yet heavily emotional snapshot of what it was like for the 19th century European to arrive at those tropical islands.

Gauguin’s already growing disenchantment heightened such impact with the European art scene, and the purity, natural and human, found by the artist in the islands was the definitive blow to his desire to ever return to France. He had felt that the art scene in Europe had become overly superficial, artificial and, as a whole, morally bankrupt. In many of his letters and texts, he would talk about how he felt that art had become too concerned with money and fame, forgetting about the real objectives of making art, which was an expression and casting a deeper look into the nature of the world and the self.

So, in contrast with how Gauguin felt about the European art scene and aesthetic sensibilities, he painted this landscape with its sinuous lines and bold, intense colors to represent the blissful serenity afforded by the environment that surrounded him. He depicts an untroubled landscape, its purity immune to the influence of civilization. The only human presence in the painting is itself adapted to the environment, in the form of the man carrying bundles of fruit along with a track that barely distinguishes itself from the field which it cuts through. In a way, Gauguin depicts humanity as small in the environment as he felt when faced with the grandeur and mystery he found in Tahiti.

Finest Quality Stretching, Gallery Wrap or Framing
Purchasing without a frame (unstreched canvas)

When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.

Purchasing a frame (USA only)

You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.

Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.

Purchasing a Stretching Service (USA only)

If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.

Purchasing a Gallery Wrap (USA only)

If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.

Door to Door Fully Insured Courier Delivery

All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.

Unframed paintings are covered with a special protective film, are gently rolled and then placed inside a strong specially designed tube.
Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
