Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), Attributed to, oil on canvas. This work is his typical portrayal of the tropical island's "Eden" image, integrating the spiritual pursuit of symbolism with the formal exploration of post-Impressionism. The picture abandons the gradual change of light and shadow, and builds the space with large areas of flat color blocks: the yellow-green of the palm trees, the red-brown of the ground, and the purple-blue of the distance form a strong contrast. The figures in white, tropical vegetation and winding paths in the picture jointly create a "paradise" far from modern civilization.

Note: Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was disappointed with the "alienation" of European civilization and went to Tahiti in 1891, attempting to seek the "purity" of art in the primitive nature and foreign culture. This "non-realistic" color choice is not an imitation of nature, but to convey the passion and mystery of the tropical scenery. The color blocks of the mangroves and yellow forests also imply the symbol of "vitality of life". Gauguin did not merely depict the real scenes of Tahiti, but rather shaped it into a spiritual yearning for "primitive innocence", which was his rebellion against the utilitarian society of Europe - a land where man and nature, spirit and matter, achieved harmonious coexistence.
