In the Vanilla Grove, Man and Horse, 1891 Paul Gauguin Oil on jute canvas #ArtSky

Rejecting Europe in favor of what he described as a "less spoiled life," Gauguin first traveled to Tahiti (then a French colony) in 1891. The tranquil landscape In the Vanilla Grove, Man and Horse, however, reveals the contradictions between myth and reality that are integral to the concept of so-called "primitivism"-the romanticized misconception and appropriation of non-European cultures-which captivated Western artists, writers, and philosophers at the end of the nineteenth century. The canvas probably depicts the area surrounding Mataiea, the small village where Gauguin settled that autumn. Yet Gauguin derived the pose of the man and his horse not from an authentically Tahitian scene but from sources in classical sculpture, including a frieze on the Greek Parthenon.
Gauguin's work from this period generally perpetuates a clichéd and exoticized vision of Tahiti and its Indigenous people. By the artist's arrival, French rule and missionary campaigns had already negatively altered the way of life. Gauguin's compositions, in which gender and racial stereotypes abound, reflect his own colonialist positions.

Pablo Picasso no necesitaba presentación cuando se topó con Frida Kahlo, la artista invitada por André Bretón a presentar su realismo mágico en una galería de París en 1939. La admiración era recíproca y la conexión fue inmediata -y para siempre- entre dos de los artistas más influyentes del siglo XX, autores de un estilo propio, inconfundible y reconocible universalmente.
Tras expresar su admiración por las pinturas de Frida Kahlo Pablo Picasso resumió en una frase su percepción sobre el estilo único de la artista mexicana, en forma de recomendación a una amiga: «Te la recomiendo, no como esposo sino como entusiasta admirador de su trabajo, ácido y tierno, duro como el acero y delicado y fino como un ala de mariposa, adorable como una hermosa sonrisa y profunda y cruel como la amargura de la vida».
El artista malagueño regaló a la pintora mexicana unos pendientes en forma de manos que ella misma plasmó en uno de sus autorretratos haciendo de ellos un elemento icónico.
