dbo:abstract
  • Soyez amoureuses vous serez heureuses est un bois sculpté et peint par Paul Gauguin en 1889 (97 × 75 cm), conservé au Musée des beaux-arts de Boston. Ce panneau de bois sculpté dans la technique du bas-relief est sans soute le plus célèbre et le plus abouti de Paul Gauguin. Il y exprime les principales caractéristiques de son art sous la forme d'une allégorie obscure et personnelle qui suscite le commentaire et interroge le spectateur. « C'est ce que j'ai fait de mieux et de plus étrange » dira Paul Gauguin lui-même de cette œuvre.

  • Soyez amoureuses vous serez heureuses (Be In Love and You Will Be Happy) is a bas-relief wood panel carved and polychromed by French artist Paul Gauguin in the autumn of 1889. Gauguin depicts himself in the upper right, sucking his thumb and grasping the hand of the fleshy nude woman, a Polynesian or African, who seems to recoil in fear. It is considered as among his most successful reliefs, but when first exhibited in 1891 at the Salon des XX in Brussels it was panned by hostile critics. It was exhibited again in 1906 during a major Gauguin retrospective; that exhibition led to a reappraisal of his wood carvings, which became major influences on artists such as Matisse, the Fauves, Brancusi, and Picasso. Soyez amoureuses vous serez heureuses is one of three similarly themed artworks that Gauguin prepared in 1889 for the Salon; the other two, possibly pendants to this panel, are the paintings In the Waves and Life and Death. The latter shows a white Eve and dark-skinned mummy against an ominous dark background. (en)
