Otahi

The Story

Paul Gauguin was a French painter active at the boundary between Post-Impressionism and Art Nouveau, depicting a primitive, symbolic world through color and form. His work moved beyond naturalism to emphasize a spiritual, mysterious atmosphere, and had a great influence on modern art. "Otahi" is a work displaying his signature simplified forms and intense color, known for symbolically expressing the relationship between nature and humanity. Sold at a 2013 auction, this work reflects Gauguin's artistic identity and shows that his work continues to be highly valued in the art market.
