Gauguin

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was not cut out for finance. He did not last long in the French navy, nor as a tent salesman in Copenhagen because he could not speak Danish. He began painting in his spare time in 1873, and in 1876 he took part in the Paris Salon. Three years later he was exhibiting alongside Pissarro, Degas and Monet.

Vehement and a heavy drinker, Gauguin used to describe himself as a savage. His close but troubled friendship with the equally temperamental Vincent van Gogh climaxed in a violent incident in 1888, when Van Gogh allegedly confronted Gauguin with a razor and later cut off his own ear. Shortly afterwards, after completing one of his masterpieces, The Vision After the Sermon (1888), Gauguin moved to Tahiti with the intention of escaping from everything artificial and conventional in the world. The boundless joy Gauguin found in the nature of Tahiti, in the people of the island and in figurative images, permeated a prolific output of paintings and prints.

In works such as Girl with a Flower (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) and Sweet Dream (Nave Nave Moe, 1894) he developed a distinct, primitivist style, exuding sunshine and colour. True to an exotic sensuality, his brushstrokes concentrated especially on the curves of Tahitian women.

Gauguin died alone in another corner of French Polynesia, in the Marquesas Islands, and many of his documents and personal objects disappeared at local auctions. His great influence on art, especially on members of the new generation of the French avant-garde such as Picasso and Matisse, did not begin to be fully appreciated until a savvy art dealer began showing Gauguin's work in Paris.

This essential introduction to the artist uncovers his colourful world, from the Impressionist salons of 1870s Paris to his last days in the Pacific, a productive and passionate life to the end.
