Painting Description
"Oviri" is a ceramic sculpture created by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin in 1894. The title, which means "savage" or "wild" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's fascination with and romanticized interpretations of the cultures of the South Pacific, where he spent several years. The sculpture depicts a mysterious and powerful figure, often interpreted as a Tahitian goddess or a representation of death. Standing at approximately 75 centimeters tall, "Oviri" portrays a fierce female figure clutching a wolf-like creature with one hand, while the other hand holds an undefined object, possibly a cub.
The work is significant for its departure from traditional Western artistic conventions and its embrace of non-Western aesthetics, which Gauguin believed to be purer and more emotionally potent. "Oviri" is emblematic of Gauguin's synthesis of different cultural motifs and his quest for a primal artistic expression. The sculpture's rough, almost primitive style, with its bold forms and emotional intensity, is characteristic of Gauguin's later work and reflects his desire to break away from the refined techniques of European art.
Gauguin's "Oviri" has been the subject of much art-historical debate, with interpretations ranging from its role as a symbol of the artist's inner turmoil to its connection with themes of life, death, and rebirth. The sculpture was largely ignored during Gauguin's lifetime but has since gained recognition as a significant work in the artist's oeuvre and in the history of modern art. Today, "Oviri" is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and continues to be studied for its complex symbolism and its influence on the development of modernist sculpture.
