About the piece
Painted during Paul Gauguin’s first stay in Tahiti, 'Arearea' (Joyousness) showcases his signature use of flattened forms and bold, non-naturalistic color. The composition features figures engaged in quiet activities alongside a prominent red dog, set against a background of simplified flora that reflects Gauguin’s search for a primitive paradise. This work is a premier example of the artist's influential synthetic style.
