Paul Gauguin’s *Noa Noa* is a vibrant and colorful woodblock print. Created in 1926, this work depicts a Tahitian woman, likely a representation of Gauguin's muse, standing beneath a palm tree. The bright colors and simplified forms are characteristic of Gauguin's Post-Impressionist style, which often depicted scenes of Tahiti and its inhabitants. He famously traveled to Tahiti in 1891, drawn to its exotic culture and landscapes. *Noa Noa* is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with the Tahitian culture and a prime example of his unique artistic vision.
