Real or FAKE paul gauguin painting!

Hi everybody, i want to share this painting with you, Really i don't know if this is a real Or not..... Any comments please.
Thanks again,

 

Hi abdel. Sorry, it is not a Gauguin.

 

From there:
http://www.antiquitiesexperts.com/gauguinexperts/gauguin-signature.html
Jeune homme à la fleur. Painted in Tahiti, 1891, and signed with initials 'PGO' on the lower left. Oil on canvas.
Can't see any similarities between your PGO signature and this one, halas
You still can contact them:

Yes, he did sometimes sign with P Go, but the painting itself is nothing like a Gauguin.
It is called Paysage de Bretagne. Here are some of the paintings he did in Britanny (Bretagne):

 

Various signatures shown here. Also pay attention to how numerals are formed:

Had a look for Troubetzkoy Gallery 1 rue de Messine in Paris...
They sell repros since 40 years

Mystery solved!

 

Good sleuthing!

 

'Equaright' puzzles me. It only makes sense in English. Shouldn't it be more like Egaldroit?

 

Yes, Right but the canevas is older than 40 years

 

Are those creases from having been folded? It is not framed now; is it even on a stretcher? Troubetzkoy probably did framing as well as selling repros. We know the label was put on after Gauguin's time because of the telephone numbers. Maybe kyratango can comment on whether the format of the numbers is the one still in use.

 

LOL, The mystery is, what in the hell was he saying!?

 

The puzzling thing is, it is not even a repro of a Gauguin painting.
I love Gauguin, and have been to every Gauguin and Post-Impressionist exhibition I could find, have gone to museums especially to see Gauguins. And I can tel you, this is not even remotely a Gauguin. The style, subject matter, technique, the level of artistry, everything is wrong.
Another thing is, Gauguin applied his paint sparingly, to save paint (and money). He just didn't have the money for that 20th century structured paint technique. You can always see the weave of the canvas through the paint, and often even the actual canvas, like here:

 

I could more readily be convinced it was late Matisse. Why would someone go to the effort of trying to pass off something so unlike any of his other work as Gauguin's?

 

Before 1963, the phone numbers would have been CAR-66-02 and WAG-59-13 area indicatives for CARNOT and WAGRAM.

From 1963 the letters were replaced by the numbers standing for them on the dial.

Since 1985 they became 42-27-66-02 and 47-63-59-13.

From 1996, 01 was added (for Paris area), giving 01-42-27-66-02.

These numbers on the paper were in use between 1963 and 1985 only!

Found nothing for "EQUARIGHT"...
A neologism from a mix of Latin and English?

 

Equiright would be the more usual way of combining them. My first thought was that it was an art supply brand name. Suppose it could be, even in context of label on the back of painting. A framing technique, making sure your picture is squarely stretched & framed?

 

I am continually surprised/awed by the extent of your knowledge!

 

It is certainly more Matisse like.

 

These Gauguin paintings are all called "Paysage de Bretagne" (Brittanny Landscape):


1888


1889


1894


1894. Alternative title "Le moulin David"

 

I said that, its more matisse like, but really an old painting, my friend found it without frame.
