Te atua (The God), from the Noa Noa Suite 1894

"Te atua (The God)" is a woodblock print created by Paul Gauguin in 1894. It is part of the Noa Noa suite, a collection of prints inspired by Gauguin's time in Tahiti. The print depicts three figures, a central deity in a meditative pose surrounded by two figures. The figures are rendered in a simplified, stylized manner, characteristic of Gauguin's later style. The print is a powerful example of Gauguin's exploration of Tahitian culture and his interest in primitive art. "Te atua (The God)" is part of the Art Institute of Chicago collection.
