Painted in 1892 during Paul Gauguin’s celebrated first stay in French Polynesia (1891–1893), Are You Jealous? (Aha oe feii?) is widely regarded by art historians—and by Gauguin himself—as one of his supreme achievements in color and composition. Depicting two Tahitian women reclining on a pink and coral beach against a flowing stream rendered in sinuous, abstract bands of yellow, orange, and purple, the work explores quiet companionship and subtle emotional tension. Employing his signature Cloisonnist style, Gauguin bounded the warm, golden-brown figures with strong rhythmic outlines and flattened space, creating a timeless vision of Paradise detached from Western industrialization. Housed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, this painting stands as a cornerstone of modern Symbolism and Post-Impressionist art.
