Around the huts 1887

"Around the Huts" is an oil painting by Paul Gauguin, created in 1887, during his time in Tahiti. The painting depicts a scene of everyday life in a Tahitian village, featuring three figures in front of thatched-roof huts against a backdrop of lush vegetation. Gauguin's distinctive style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms, is evident in this work, which reflects his fascination with the culture and landscapes of Tahiti. The painting's composition and vibrant palette evoke a sense of tranquility and exotic beauty, making it a quintessential example of Gauguin's "primitive" aesthetic.
