An 1892 oil on canvas, *Parau Api* (*What's New?*), by [Paul Gauguin](https://www.worldhistory.org/Paul_Gauguin/) (1848-1903) the French post-impressionist painter. Painted in Tahiti. In a letter to his wife, Gauguin wrote: "And these people are called savages!...They sing; they never steal; my door is never closed; they do not kill. Two Tahitian words describe them: *Iorama* (good morning, good-bye, thanks)...and *Onatu* (I don't care, what does it matter?)". (Galerie Neue Meister, Dresden, Germany)
