Separating the artist from the art exhibition: Gauguin’s World at the NGA (Australia)
By Meisha Vu - Art - September 25, 2024
It’s hard to compensate for the long-lasting impacts that French colonialism has had on Tahiti and its surrounding islands with a single exhibition, but if I had to exhibit it, I would emphasise in all aspects of Gaugin’s paintings the confrontation, sinisterism and exploitation.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) exploited Polynesian culture, perpetuating harmful stereotypes among his French audience. He also was a ‘sex tourist’, preying on Polynesian girls as young as 13 years old. So when the National Gallery of Australia decided to hold an exhibition called ‘Gauguin’s World: TŌNA IHO, TŌNA AO’, one can’t help but raise an eyebrow at why we are celebrating such a problematic artist.
The 1892 painting, ‘Manao Tupapau (Spirit of the Dead Watching)’ depicts a Tahitian girl called Teha’amana lying on her stomach, nude, with her head facing us, and directly looking at the viewer that’s looking at her. Gauguin attempts to represent the Polynesian fear of the Tupapau, the ‘spirit of the dead’, that looms over her. However, given his sexual predilections and the probability that Teha’amana was Christian and did not believe in these spirits, the self-mythologising essence of Gaugin’s oeuvre is to be questioned. Is Teha’amana fearing the ghost, or is she fearing the man before her — her husband Gauguin?
Teha’amana was Gauguin’s first muse after setting sail for French Polynesia, in a search for an untouched land. As he put it, he was escaping “everything that is artificial and conventional,” in reference to the Western art world. She was around 13 years old when she met Gauguin according to Noa Noa (1993-94), his partly autobiographical, partly fantasised journal about his experiences in Tahiti, in hopes of depicting the idyll of the Polynesian Pacific life. She became what was commonly known in French Polynesia as his ‘native wife’, meaning a legally non-binding marriage typically between a French man and a Polynesian woman — or in this case, a girl.
Much of Teha’amana’s story is told through Gauguin’s exaggerated perspective from his journal Noa Noa. He described his relationship with Teha’amana as “youth and old age, light and darkness, and life and death.” The age of consent in Tahiti at the time was 13 years old, and many young girls would become ‘native wifes’ to Western men as they provided opportunities for wealth. In other words, marriage to native women was exploitation disguised as a chance for fortune.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: The Decor Collection uses preexisting Barbie sets in bright color schemes. This bedroom was originally for the 2002 Living In Style range. Colleen had that set when we were growing up. Naturally, I recognized these pieces straight away when we found them. Back in the spring of 2015, I noted what looked to be a doll house on the side of the road. I was on my way to pick my sister up at work, so I didn't have the chance to investigate. I mentioned it to Colleen when we were returning home. She walked over to the neighbor's house to see if there were any goodies in their pile of free stuff. Lo and behold, she found the mother load of dolls and playsets. We dubbed this the "Free Friday Finds Lot." That's where this Decor Collection Bedroom Playset originated from. I would have assumed it was a color variation of the Living In Style one. However, I had familiarized myself with the Decor Collection while doing research online in years past. So I knew this was in fact a different set. As it turned out, most of the smaller components were still there! I should say that this set isn't 100% identical in terms of contents to the Living In Style one. The wardrobe is smaller. Instead of having the two additional side pieces, this one only has the center portion (which is the largest compartment). It also came with fabric bedding, which the 2002 Living In Style one was not packaged with, As much as I am nostalgic for the 2002 set, I have to admit that I prefer this one's vibrant, fun color scheme! There are different color variations of this set (see my chair comparison for reference).
