Woman with Mango 1892

"Woman with Mango" is a painting by Paul Gauguin, completed in 1892, during the artist's time in Tahiti. It depicts a Tahitian woman, dressed in a vibrant purple dress, holding a mango in her hand, against a bright yellow background. The painting is a prime example of Gauguin's iconic Synthetist style, which emphasizes flatness and bold colors, while also reflecting his fascination with the culture of Tahiti. The woman's relaxed pose and dreamy gaze suggest a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The artwork is known for its simplified forms, decorative patterns, and use of symbolic imagery, all characteristic of Gauguin's artistic vision.
