The house of singing 1892

"The House of Singing" (1892) by Paul Gauguin depicts a gathering of Tahitian people in a brightly lit, open-air structure. Gauguin, who spent much of his later life in Tahiti, was captivated by the island's vibrant culture and people. The painting's bold colors and simplified forms are characteristic of his Synthetist style, which combined elements of Impressionism with the flatness of Japanese prints. "The House of Singing" offers a glimpse into Tahitian life and is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with the exotic.
