{"product_id":"otahi-alone-paul-gauguin","title":"Otahi (Alone) - Paul Gauguin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Post-Impressionist work by Paul Gauguin, featuring a reclining figure in a bold, flattened composition with warm, earthy tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Gauguin painted Otahi, also known as Alone, during his first stay in Tahiti. The work depicts a reclining figure in a pose that suggests contemplation or solitude. Gauguin employs a flattened perspective, a hallmark of his mature style, which moves away from the traditional modelling of form found in Western academic painting. The figure is rendered with simplified, bold contours and a deliberate lack of depth, allowing the colour fields to dominate the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is characteristic of Gauguin's Tahitian period, featuring a striking contrast between the warm, earthy tones of the figure's skin and the flat, bright yellow background. The red fabric draped over the figure provides a visual anchor, drawing the eye across the canvas. Gauguin often used these non-naturalistic colours to evoke a sense of exoticism and emotional weight, rather than to record a literal scene. The title, inscribed in the lower left corner, reinforces the theme of isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting reflects Gauguin's interest in the primitive and his desire to escape the industrialised society of Europe. By stripping away unnecessary detail, he focuses on the silhouette and the psychological state of the subject. The composition is balanced yet static, inviting the viewer to observe the figure in a moment of quiet reflection. The work remains a clear example of his departure from the Impressionist movement, favouring symbolic expression over the observation of light and atmosphere. It is a study in form and colour, where the arrangement of shapes on the surface takes precedence over the illusion of three-dimensional space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-wait-at-the-well-paul-serusier\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Wait at the Well by Paul Sérusier\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-two-sisters-maurice-denis\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Two Sisters by Maurice Denis\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/paul-gauguin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePaul Gauguin artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Gauguin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474327142735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474340249935,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59474340282703,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474340315471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474340348239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474340381007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474340413775,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474340446543,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474340479311,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59474340512079,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59474340544847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59474340577615,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Otahi-Alone-_Poster_CompositorV1_1794395160915.jpg?v=1794439822","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/products\/otahi-alone-paul-gauguin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
