"Faa Iheihe" (also known as "Tahitian Pastoral") is an 1898 oil painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created during Gauguin's second stay in Tahiti, the painting is a quintessential example of his Primitivist style, which sought to escape the conventions of European art and society by immersing in the perceived purity of the so-called "primitive" cultures.

The title "Faa Iheihe," which translates to "to beautify" or "to adorn" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's fascination with the indigenous way of life and his romanticized view of the Tahitian people as living in harmony with nature, free from the moral and social constraints of Western civilization. The painting depicts a group of Tahitian women in a lush landscape, characterized by Gauguin's bold use of color and simplified forms. The figures are portrayed with a sense of serenity and grace, emblematic of Gauguin's idealized and somewhat mythical interpretation of Tahitian culture.

Measuring 75.5 x 91.5 cm, "Faa Iheihe" is part of a series of works that Gauguin produced during his time in the South Pacific, where he sought to capture the essence of the life and environment he encountered there. The painting's composition, with its flattened pictorial space and decorative elements, draws on a range of influences, including traditional Tahitian art, Japanese prints, and European Symbolism.

"Faa Iheihe" is held in high regard for its innovative approach to color and form, as well as its contribution to the Primitivism movement in art. The painting is also a testament to Gauguin's complex and often controversial legacy, as it raises questions about cultural appropriation, colonialism, and the mythologization of non-Western societies by Western artists.

Today, "Faa Iheihe" is housed in a prominent museum collection and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and the window it provides into Gauguin's world and the broader context of late 19th-century art.
