Auti te Pape 1894 - 1895

"Auti te Pape" is a wood-cut print created by Paul Gauguin between 1894 and 1895. The print, with its bold use of color and simplified forms, is characteristic of Gauguin's syncretic style, which blended elements of European art with traditional Tahitian motifs. The scene depicts a seated figure, likely a Tahitian woman, surrounded by other figures and symbols, echoing Gauguin's fascination with Polynesian culture. The print’s title translates to "The End of the World", adding a layer of mystery and symbolism to the artwork.
