{"product_id":"paul-gauguin-the-siesta-fine-art-print","title":"Paul Gauguin — The Siesta | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour Tahitian women sit and lie on the pink boards of a shaded veranda. At left one in a pink blouse faces the lawn, a white flower in her hair. At the centre a woman in a straw hat with a blue polka-dot ribbon sits with her back to us, one bare foot outstretched, in a lilac flowered blouse and dark blue skirt. Beyond her a woman in maroon irons cloth, and another in orange lies on her front. A basket of fruit sits in the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGauguin worked on this scene of everyday life over a long period, making several changes along the way: the basket in the foreground, for example, replaced a dog. The painting came to the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg Collection, given in 1993 with a bequest in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, about 1892–94, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Gauguin (1848–1903) gave up a career as a Paris stockbroker to paint, and in 1885 left his wife and five children to pursue it. He led the Pont-Aven painters toward flat colour and simplified form, and worked beside Van Gogh in Arles in 1888. From 1891 he lived mostly in Tahiti and, from 1901, the Marquesas, where Polynesian figures, colour and myth became his subject. There he took girls of thirteen and fourteen as his 'wives': by his own account Teha'amana, whose face recurs in the Tahitian paintings of 1891–93, was thirteen. His synthetist style shaped the Nabis, Fauvism and Expressionism; in recent decades historians and museums have reassessed him for this sexual exploitation of Polynesian girls and for the colonial fantasy of Tahiti his work helped build. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
