Arearea no varua ino is an 1894 oil-on-canvas painting by Paul Gauguin, now in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.[1]
The title Gauguin inscribed in the bottom left is Arearea no varua ino, a Tahitian language phrase which is variously translated to English as "the amusement of the evil spirit"[2] or "words of the Devil".[3] The painting is also sometimes given the descriptive title Reclining Tahitian Women.
