Hey Fionaa_xp,
I tried to cut and paste some text from the site, but it is in a bitmap, not text. Go to this site, it describes a lot of information about this painting.
It is colorful, simplistic, with a realism that says, 'I am a painting, but you can imagine the immense beauty of this place', I would display this one for sure.

Tahitian Landscape

A bit of a rogue, Paul Gauguin was undoubtedly the most flamboyant personality among the Post-Impressionists. As a young man, he spent six years at sea, in the merchant marine and the navy. Then he became a successful stockbroker, married, and took up painting in his spare time. Following a crisis in the stock market in 1882, he found himself without a job, and the next year he left his wife and five children in order to lead a bohemian life and pursue his art full time. After sojourns in Brittany, Panama, Martinique, and Arles, Gauguin sailed for Tahiti in 1891 and settled in the beachfront town of Mataiéa. In his paintings of the island and its inhabitants, the simplified shapes and heightened colors form vivid and exotic patterns. Colored in brilliant greens, oranges, yellows, and purples, Tahitian Landscape represents a paradise of palm trees, mountains, and grassy meadows. Although he went back to France in 1896, Gauguin returned to Tahiti and later moved to the Marquesas, where he died.
This refers to the painters own titled Tahitian Landscape which can be found at http://store.posterunlimited.com/had5377.html

That is an early Gauguin before his famous trips to Tahiti. It is easy to compare Gauguin with van Gogh because their time together is well documented and their relative philosophies about art are legendary. Gauguin was developing his broader , flatter areas of paint when van Gogh was trying to follow the Impressionistic styles of catching the light. Notice the much shorter brush strokes used by van Gogh.

I know about it, but I'm not sure what you're asking. Sorry. The meaning, or the story behind it, or...?
