Poem
The King's Wife - Te Arri Vahine Gauguin’s painting of “The King’s Wife,” immortalized a goddess of Tahiti, Pacific paradise. Mesmerizing mahogany muse memorializing his canvas, she’s a tropical Venus on a bed of forest green grass. Nature’s umbrella, a thick canopy of mango trees, shades and shelters her stirring up a light cool breeze. Adorned with a single white flower near her right ear, she holds behind her thick raven-dark hair, a large red round fan like a haloed crown, accentuating her silky soft skin of golden brown. Supreme is her majesty dominating this idyllic scene, basking in her own exotic glory she’s royally serene. Modestly draped to protect her from roving eyes, a white shawl covers her groin and bold womanly thighs. Displaying her nymph-like body, supple and proud, her pert breasts are full, firm, and well-endowed; and like the succulent orange-red mangoes beside her, she’s sweet, luscious, fully ripe, and mature. Wearing a pensive smile, she’s intriguing the king’s bride… does her Madonna-like belly nurture a secret growing inside? 05-22-2017 Contest: Celebration of Art Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues Placement: 1st * Paul Gauguin (French, 1848–1903) painted "The King’s Wife" in 1896. Post-Impressionist artist, he abandoned his native France for most of the 1890s to live on the Pacific island of Tahiti, which was a French colony since 1881. Gauguin was attracted to the island and what he saw as the primitive culture of its people. He shared the fantasy of many Europeans of the time that Tahiti was a sort of tropical paradise. Through his paintings he actually reflected his passionate love for the visual and sensuous beauty of the world. https://www.1000museums.com/art_works/paul-gauguin-te-arii-vahine-the-king-s-wife or https://learner.org/courses/globalart/work/134/index.html
