1894
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Te Faruru (They are Making Love Here) is a 1894 ink by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman with long hair, kneeling and embracing a man. The woman's hair flows behind her, and she wears a red loincloth. The man is shirtless, with his arms wrapped around the woman. In the background, a white section features the text "TE FARURU" and a symbol. The woman's hair is a prominent feature, flowing behind her like a river. The use of bold lines and vibrant colors creates a sense of energy and movement. This woodcut technique is reminiscent of the work of artist Paul Gauguin.
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (; French: ; 7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.
