"Mahana No Atua" Gauguin silk and satin scarf
This silk and satin scarf is inspired by Gauguin's painting intitled "Day of the God (Mahana No Atua)" (1894).
Paul Gauguin was a leading French Post-Impressionist artist. His most famous paintings portray French Polynesia life where he escaped from European civilization and "everything that is artificial and conventional". His works of that period are full of quasi-religious symbolism and an exoticized view of the inhabitants of Polynesia.
Since 1890, the Brochier Family has been working as silk manufacturers for now 5 generations. Their workshop is a qualitative reference of the French traditionnal know-how concerning the specific craft skills of silk thread. This silk-makers house which exists for 118 years has succeed in linking traditionnal skills and modern fashionned clothing.
