Description
Gauguin's "Motherhood II" in Tahiti cleverly transforms the classic theme of the Virgin and Child into an exotic pastoral poem with expressive colors and strokes.
The woman sitting on the ground in the picture is a breastfeeding mother, with two women holding fruit baskets and flowers standing next to her. The yellow sky, pink clouds, and bold use of foreground tones reflect that the artist's handling of color has reached a new level.
This work endows the daily life image of the original ecology with a solemn and solemn commemorative significance, and is seen as a reflection on female temperament and the essence of female beauty.
