Description
The painting "whispered" by Paul Gauguin, created in 1892, represents an emblematic example of the symbolic and post -impressionist style of the artist, who sought to go beyond the naturalistic representation to explore the emotional and spiritual symbolism in his work. This piece, loaded with color and meaning, is inserted in the Gauguin period in Tahiti, a place that inspired it deeply and where it looked for an authentic connection with a primitive and non -corrupted world.
The composition of "whispered words" is notable for its asymmetric disposition, in which the characters and elements of the environment play a crucial function in the visual narrative. In painting, two women with dark skin, dressed in fabrics that evoke Polynesian culture, are sitting in a natural and lush natural environment, apparently immersed in an intimate conversation. The choice to represent them in a natural space not only suggests a link with their environment, but also symbolizes the connection with their culture and traditions.
The use of color in this work is a distinctive characteristic of Gauguin's style. The vibrant tones and the rich palette, which combines the intense green of foliage with deep blue and warm earthly tones, provide a sense of vitality and emotion. The technique of loose brushstrokes and the use of color as a vehicle for the expression of feelings is a fundamental characteristic in Gauguin's work, which moves away from academic conventions in their search in a more pure way of art.
The representation of the female figures is especially significant. These women are not mere aesthetic representations; They embody the ideal of truth and wisdom in Polynesian culture, acting as custodians of meaning and connection to Earth. The way in which they are arranged in the composition suggests an intimacy that is visually reflected in the vicinity of their bodies and the subtle exchange that seems to take place, a "whisper" that transcends the words. This aspect communicates the essence of the title of the work, insinuating that there is a language beyond the verbal, a deep and emotional communication that is established between them.
It is interesting to note that, although "whispered words" is not as recognized as some of Gauguin's most iconic works, such as "Where do we come from? What are we? In his work: the search for spirituality, simple life in harmony with nature and exploration of non -western culture. Throughout his career, Gauguin was interested in the female figure not only as an object of beauty, but as a symbol of ancestral wisdom, an idea that in this painting becomes palpable.
The historical context also enriches the understanding of this work. During the last part of the nineteenth century, many artists, including Gauguin, began to question the notions of modernity and progress that dominated in Europe, looking for answers in cultures considered "primitive." This search took him to Tahiti, where the artist found not only a visually impressive landscape, but also a space where he could explore his own ideas about utopia and human essence.
In conclusion, "whispered words" is a work that encapsulates the essence of Gauguin's thought: a dialogue between the internal and the external, between the individual and his environment, and between art and his ability to communicate emotions that transcend logic and logic and conventional language. Through the simplicity of its composition, the bold use of the color and emotional depth of its subjects, this painting is erected as a poetic exploration of the human relationship and the mystery of life.
