Which artwork was created between 1897 and 1898?

• A. Gauguin - Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (1897-98)
• B. Magritte - The Treachery of Images (1929)
• C. Dalí - The Persistence of Memory (1931)
• D. Wyeth - Christina's World (1948)

Answer: (A)

Think about time as the clue. The window 1897–1898 sits in the late 19th century, and Gauguin’s Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? was painted exactly in that span, during his Tahiti period, with the bold, flat areas of color and existential themes typical of that era. The other paintings come from much later dates—1929, 1931, and 1948—so they don’t fit the required timeframe. This is why Gauguin’s piece is the artwork created between 1897 and 1898.
