[H2]Paul Gauguin's Masterpiece in Post-Impressionism Style[/H2] [P]Discover the enigma of Paul Gauguin's masterpiece, [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=where+do+we+come+from+what+are+we+where+are+we+going,where,come,from,what,going&']'Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?'[/A], a contemplation of life and death that leaves an indelible mark on the art scene.[/P] [H2]A Painted Manifesto from Tahiti[/H2] [P]Created in 1897 while Gauguin was living on the island of Tahiti, [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=where+do+we+come+from+what+are+we+where+are+we+going,where,come,from,what,going&']'Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?'[/A] represents the artist's painted manifesto. The French artist transitioned from being a 'Sunday painter' to a full-time artist after meeting Camille Pissarro and other Impressionists in Paris.[/P] [H2]Reading the Painting from Right to Left[/H2] [P]In the manner of a sacred scroll written in an ancient language, the painting is to be read from right to left: from the sleeping infant—where we come from—to the standing figure in the center, symbolizing where we are now, and finally to the old woman on the left, representing where we are going.[/P] [H2]A Post-Impressionistic Style[/H2] [P]Gauguin's art stressed the vivid use of colors and thick brushstrokes, accentuating his trailblazing Post-Impressionistic style. The painting is an enormous contemplation of life and death, with three major groups reflecting the overall themes presented in the title.[/P] [H2]A Tahitian Masterpiece[/H2] [P]Gauguin's time in Tahiti was marked by a psychological crisis, but it also produced some of his most famous works.
