Brel et Gauguin à HIVA OA
The Marquesas: Hiva Oa - Paul Gauguin, Jacques Brel, and art everywhere on this painted island.
The Marquesas island of Hiva Oa, home of French painter Paul Gauguin and Belgian singer Jacques Brel, greeted us with a misty, rainbow and lively music from beautifully tattooed locals, that welcomed us to explore this island paradise.
We boarded rickety wooden busses driven by guitar wielding drivers who carted us up the mountain to the Calvary Cemetery, to visit the graves of the two most famous residents here, Gauguin and Brel, where devoted fans from every corner of the world paid their respects with messages of love and respect etched on stones.
Next we dove into the world of Gauguin visiting his museum where an impressive collection of his work, and work of local artist in the style of Gauguin is presented, along with his workshop home, the Maison du Jouir, which walking though gives you an amazing understanding of this genius artists life.
Finally, walking back to the ship I stopped off at a darling little restaurant Chez Georges et Tahu, where we had an absolutely fabulous meal along the seaside. Highly recommended.
Before we knew it we were back on our floating palace the Aranui 5 and Hiva Oa said goodbye with yet another beautiful rainbow. Hope to see you again soon, beautiful island in the Polynesian sea.

Marquesas, Gauguin Museum
Ever wanted to see what the inside of the Gauguin Museum in the Marquesas looks like? Tahiti Travel Mate produced this short 30 second snippet when owner, Alison Adam, visited in 2018. Enjoy!
French Polynesia Marquesas islands
Marquesas islands are certainly the most mythical of all French Polynesia. These high islands with their blocks of lava emerged from the sea, seem to challenge the immensity of the ocean. Land of legends, the Marquesas abound with remains, of which the very famous marae, true open sky museum. The Marquesas natives are renowed for their arts and crafts, in particular the woodcarving, and each one likes to recall that it's in the Marquesas that artists like Jacques Brel and Paul Gauguin decided to finish their life. From this very particular atmosphere, no one will not return untouched.

Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost will take us on the trail of a story that has become myth. Through Tahiti and Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, we will experience the landscapes that inspired Gauguin, in the places where he built houses with bamboo and leaves, and discovered light and colours which changed his painting forever.

Paul Gauguin: A Return to France and Second Voyage to Tahiti
Seattle Art Museum presents the only United States stop for Gauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise, a landmark show highlighting the complex relationship between Paul Gauguin's work and the art and culture of Polynesia. The exhibition, on view at SAM Downtown February 9 through April 29, 2012, includes about 50 of Gauguin's brilliantly hued paintings, sculptures and works on paper, which are displayed alongside 60 major examples of Polynesian sculpture that fueled his search for the exotic. Organized by the Art Centre Basel, the show is comprised of works on loan from some of the world's most prestigious museums and private collections.
Gauguin (1848--1903) is one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the late nineteenth century. From early on in his career he yearned for the exotic in both his life and his work. While his Polynesian experience was a defining factor in both his art and his posthumous reputation, many exhibitions devoted to his work have treated the artist's direct relationship with Polynesian art as one small part of his larger enterprise. Through a balanced analysis of Polynesian art alongside Gauguin's works, this exhibition shifts the emphasis and brings Polynesian arts and culture into the center of Gauguin studies.

STORYLINE:
Paul Gauguin's Maternite (II), a painting of a nursing mother and her infant, sold for $39.2 million on Thursday, a record for the artist, auctioneers said.
It was the highlight of the first day of a two-day sale at Sotheby's auction house that has raised more than $194 million.
Despite the high figure many of the works of art fell short of the estimates.
The Gauguin, from the artist's second Tahitian period was the property of a private collector.
It had a presale estimate of $40 million to $50 million. The buyer's identity was not immediately revealed.
The artist painted it in 1899 while living in the Punaauia district of of the Pacific island of Tahiti. The subject of the work is maternity, and was completed around the time that Gauguin's Polynesian mistress gave birth to their son.
Amedeo Modigliani's Jeanne Hebuterne, named for his 21-year-old pregnant lover, was bought by an anonymous bidder at Sotheby's for more than $31.3 million, a record for the artist.
Piet Mondrian's New York, 1941/Boogie Woogie, 1941-42 sold for more than $21 million, also a record for that painter. However, the piece fell short, going to a buyer at USD$18,750,000.
Bidding was quick for Wassily Kandinsky's Skizze Fur Sintflut II.
The painting, which was estimated to bring in more than USD$20 million, went to bidder at USD$17,500,000 - not quite high enough to break the Kandinsky record currently at USD$20,900,000.

Paul Gauguin
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a leading French Post-Impressionist artist. He was an important figure in the Symbolist movement as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer. His bold experimentation with colouring led directly to the Synthetist style of modern art while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to Primitivism and the return to the pastoral. He was also an influential proponent of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms. ( source Wikipedia )
