Paul Gauguin's 'The Call' ('L'Appel', 1902), painted in the Marquesas Islands in the last year of the artist's life, depicts two Polynesian women pausing on a forest path as if summoned by an unseen voice. The flattened silhouettes and saturated, non-naturalistic colour are characteristic of Gauguin's late Polynesian synthesis. Oil on fabric, Cleveland Museum of Art.
