Two Thoroughly Modern Women Painting

Paul Gauguin, I can't get your genius out of my system, after my painting entitled "My Tribute to Paul Gauguin", here I am again! It was on Friday, April 1, 2011, a woman hit the plexiglass covering the painting "Two Tahitian Women" (1899) by Paul Gauguin and attempted to pull it from the wall in the exhibition currently on view, "Gauguin: Maker of Myth." Initial examination indicates that the painting has not suffered any damage. Currently, it is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Two Tahitian women in a serene state of reverence, as they offer flowers, and fruits at a ceremony. Their skin is depicted in golden hues, set off by the cool colors of their clothes and of the tropical glade in which they stand. The painting captures Gauguin’s mythical idea of Tahiti as a paradise of beautiful, mysterious women. It is also written that Gauguin fathered children with at least three different girls between the ages of thirteen and fifteen. Hence, in this painting, I have dared to capture Gauguin's real essence as a man, artist/genius by my version entitled, "Two Thoroughly Modern Women" by portraying two young women, in their shameless innocence offering cherries and cherry blossoms. To echo Gauguin's Symbolism period, I have used the ripe, sensuous, irresistible cherries to symbolize a sweet character and the sweetness of Paradise. The blossoms bring spring, a new beginning and growth.
