Paul Gauguin’s works from his South Seas period rank among the most significant achievements of Post-Impressionism. They combine exotic motifs, luminous color fields, and an innovative sense of composition that reveal Gauguin’s radical departure from European artistic traditions. Particularly striking is the influence of Japanese woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e), reflected in the flatness, clear linearity, and decorative balance of his paintings.

The works from these South Seas years continue to shape our perception of Gauguin today and exerted a profound influence on the avant-garde of the 20th century – especially on the Fauves around Henri Matisse, who further developed the expressive freedom of his use of color.

For art investors, Gauguin’s South Seas works hold exceptional appeal: they unite rarity, international prestige, and art-historical significance. The fusion of cultural myth, iconic imagery, and sustained demand ensures their long-term value stability and makes them a cornerstone of any major collection.
