Gauguin's painting on a wraparound

I came across with this photography that Alan D. Hull shot during his travel to French Polynesia where Gauguin lived after leaving behind his family.

It is a pareo, a wraparound used by women.

I love this Gauguin painting and I think that it is a very beautiful work. I would hang it at my wall if I had it.

"Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?"

Paul Gauguin
