Where Do We Come from? What Are We? Where Are We Going?




Paul Gauguin painted his (probably) most famous painting in Tahiti in 1897. The French title has no question mark, no dash, all the words are capitalized:. Dou Venons Nous Que Somme Nous Ou Allons Nous. Among these questions, which sounds the most interesting to YOU? Have you ever wondered where you actually come from (beside the physical part of the story)? Do you ever wonder WHO you "really" are? Do you believe you know yourself? And, finally, are you interested in investigating the possible places you might be heading towards? Wow! Mind-blowing stuff, isnt it? Unless you prefer walking with blinkers, your vision never spacing beyond your nose...If this is your choice, its okay. You will surely be spared many a headache!! On the other hand, IF you decide to start thinking, and happen to go to Boston, be aware that this painting is at the Museum of Fine Arts. It might inspire you....
