专家说明

This work will be included in the forthcoming Paul Gauguin Digital Catalogue Raisonné, currently being prepared under the sponsorship of the Wildenstein Plattner Institute, Inc.

The figures and their placement in Parau Parau are closely related to the painting Parau Hanohano, Paroles terrifiantes, executed in Tahiti in 1892 (Wildenstein, no. 460). The painting further develops the theme of the related oil Contes barbares (Wildenstein, no. 459) by introducing the figures of two idols into the background, the larger of which is faintly visible in the present study.
