"Women and White Horse" (1903) by Paul Gauguin is a striking example of his Synthetist style, characterized by simplified forms and bold, flat colors. The painting depicts three figures in a Tahitian landscape, the central figure being a nude woman riding a white horse, while the other two figures stand on either side. The vibrant colors and the flattened perspective create a sense of dreamlike serenity, reflecting Gauguin's fascination with the exotic and the primitive. The painting, now part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston collection, exemplifies Gauguin's interest in Tahitian culture and his artistic exploration of primitivism.
