Oviri (Tahitian for savage or wild) is an 1894 ceramic sculpture by the French artist Paul Gauguin. In Tahitian mythology, Oviri was the goddess of mourning and is shown with long pale hair and wild eyes, smothering a wolf with her feet while clutching a cub in her arms. Art historians have presented multiple interpretations—usually that Gauguin intended it as an epithet to reinforce his self-image as a "civilised savage". Tahitian goddesses of her era had passed from folk memory by 1894, yet Gauguin romanticises the island's past as he reaches towards more ancient sources, including an Assyrian relief of a "master of animals" type, and Majapahit mummies. Other possible influences include preserved skulls from the Marquesas Islands, figures found at Borobudur, and a 9th-century Mahayana Bu

  • Oviri (Salvatge en tahitià) és una escultura de ceràmica del 1894 feta per l'artista francès Paul Gauguin i conservada al Museu d'Orsay de París. Mostra una deessa de cabell llarg i ulls grans sostenint un llobató amb les mans i amb un llop als peus. Els historiadors d'art han fet diverses interpretacions de l'obra; normalment presentat com la pròpia imatge de l'artista com a "salvatge civilitzat". A l'època, les divinitats tahitianes només eren un record i Gauguin reinterpreta el passat de l'illa inspirant-se en diverses fonts antigues d'altres cultures orientals. (ca)

  • Oviri (« sauvage » en tahitien) est une sculpture en grès de Paul Gauguin réalisée en 1894 dans l'atelier du céramiste Ernest Chaplet, peu avant son départ pour les îles Marquises. Dans la mythologie tahitienne, Oviri est la déesse du deuil. Le thème dOviri est la mort, le sauvage, le farouche. Elle est représentée avec de longs cheveux clairs, le regard perçant, trônant sur le corps d'une louve mort, écrasant son louveteau. Elle a été vendue en 1905, deux ans après la mort de l'artiste à Gustave Fayet, un collectionneur. (fr)
  • Oviri (Tahiti bermakna buas atau liar) adalah patung keramik tahun 1894 karya seniman Prancis Paul Gauguin. Dalam , Oviri adalah dewi berkabung dan ditampilkan dengan rambut panjang pucat dan mata liar, mencekik serigala dengan kakinya sambil mencengkeram seekor anak di lengannya. Sejarawan seni telah menghadirkan banyak interpretasi—biasanya Gauguin memaksudkannya sebagai julukan untuk memperkuat citra dirinya sebagai "orang biadab yang beradab". Dewi Tahiti pada zamannya telah hilang dari ingatan rakyat pada tahun 1894, namun Gauguin meromantisasi masa lalu pulau itu saat ia menjangkau sumber-sumber yang lebih kuno, termasuk relief Asyur dari tipe "penguasa hewan", dan mumi Majapahit . Pengaruh lain yang mungkin termasuk tengkorak yang diawetkan dari Kepulauan Marquesas, tokoh-tokoh yang (in)
