SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
A still life from 1880, *Still Life: Wood Tankard and Metal Pitcher*, appears in the Art Institute of Chicago’s catalogue alongside *Arlésiennes (Mistral)*, dated 1888, and *Te raau rahi (The Big Tree)*, dated 1891. The titles *Merahi metua no Tehamana*, also referred to as *Tehamana Has Many Parents or The Ancestors of Tehamana* and dated 1893, and *Mahana no atua (Day of the God)*, dated 1894, add Tahitian titles accompanied by English translations to this group.
The Art Institute of Chicago has dedicated several exhibitions to his work: *Van Gogh and Gauguin: The Studio of the South* in 2001–2002, *Paul Gauguin & the South Pacific - 40 Drawings & Prints* in 2003–2004 and *Gauguin: Artist as Alchemist* in 2017.
This profile brings together identity references for Paul Gauguin and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
