Heh…given all the discourse surrounding Gaugin’s rampant exploitation and fetishisation of the Tahitian women, I’d say this is a pretty lateral move.

(Note: I’m a “love the art not the artist” kind, so for the record I also think this is an incredibly beautiful painting)

I love Gauguin’s style but he is probably one of the best known assholes of the art world. I think the context of his work really does prove the issue people have with this sub as of late, though has work obviously has a colonialist tint as well.
