"I Raro Te Oviri (Under the Pandanus)" painted by Paul Gauguin in 1891, showcases the artist's signature Synthetist style. The painting depicts two Tahitian women in a landscape, with the ocean visible in the background. Gauguin's bold use of color and simplified forms, characteristic of his time in Tahiti, create a vibrant and expressive scene, showcasing the artist's fascination with Polynesian culture and his desire to escape the constraints of European art. The artwork is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it continues to captivate audiences with its exotic subject matter and distinctive artistic style.
