Hina and Fatu, c. 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate craftsmanship of Gauguin's wooden sculpture. Standing at a height of 32.7 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada. The sculpture depicts Hina and Fatu, two Tahitian deities representing the moon and earth respectively. Gauguin's imagination brings these mythological figures to life through his skillful carving technique on tamanu wood. As you gaze upon this piece, you are transported into a world where gods and goddesses personify celestial bodies and natural elements. The delicate details of each figure highlight Gauguin's deep understanding of mythology and his ability to capture its essence in art. This artifact from the late 19th century serves as a testament to Gauguin's talent as well as his fascination with Tahitian culture. It reflects not only his artistic prowess but also sheds light on French overseas territories' influence on French culture during that time. The presence of Hina and Fatu evokes feelings of wonderment while reminding us of humanity's connection to nature and spirituality. This artwork invites contemplation about our place in the universe, paganism, polytheism, and our relationship with outer space. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, "Hina and Fatu" is an extraordinary representation of Gauguin's mastery as an artist who delved into both mythological narratives and diverse cultural influences.
