1897, Gaugin, Expressionist or Symbolist, Oil on Canvas
The painting poses an existential question faced by Gaugin in his quest for decadence. He was searching for a spiritual place where he could obtain a primordial way of living. It expresses an inner dream world and some spiritual longing within the artist. The intense color may be influenced by Cèzanne.
Artists saw themselves as having a privileged understanding of the world.
