During his years in Tahiti, first from 1891 to 1893 and again from 1895 until his death in 1903, Paul Gauguin painted the island's traditional thatched dwellings, or fare, set among palms and dense tropical vegetation. "Tahitian Hut" reflects his fascination with the built and natural landscape of the island, rendered in the flattened forms and rich, non-naturalistic color that defined his mature style. Paintings like this one were part of Gauguin's broader effort to depict a Tahiti he believed was more authentic and unspoiled than the colonial town of Papeete, even as the island was already being transformed by French rule.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. There is a life to Tahitian Hut here that flat reproductions usually kill. The color accuracy is the best I have seen from an online order. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. Buy it, you will not regret it.
The picture itself is nice and the execution is average.
I was expecting good and got great. My neighbor liked it enough that she ordered one for her own place. The seller replied to my question in under a hour. It suits a mid-century house better than anything I found locally. My only regret is not ordering sooner. ⭐
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. The swing from summer humidity to furnace season is brutal here and it has not budged. Highly recommended if you are hesitating.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. I have been hunting for a good version of Tahitian Hut for two years.
