List Price: $4.95

Description

Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist painter born in Paris, France. The son of journalist who died when Paul was three, leaving his mother and sister to make a living on their own.
At seventeen, Gauguin was a sailor in the merchant marines to satisfy his required military service. After his military service he became a successful stockbroker in Paris. In 1874, he began to paint on weekends. By the age of 35, with the encouragement of Camille Pissarro, he devoted himself completely to his art, having given up
his position and separated (1885) from his wife and five children. Associating himself with the Impressionists, he exhibited with them from 1879 to 1886. The next year he sailed for Panama and Martinique. In protest against the "disease" of civilization, he determined to live primitively, but illness forced him to return to France. The next years were spent in Paris and Brittany, with a
brief but tragic stay with Van Gogh at Arles.
In 1903, suffering from syphilis, Gauguin died on May 08, of an overdose of morphine and possibly heart attack before he could start a required prison sentence. His body had been weakened by alcohol and a dissipated life. He was 54 years old.

Description

This major reevaluation of Paul Gauguin presents the artist and his work in an entirely new light. The vivid, unnaturalistic colors and bold outlines of Gauguin's paintings and the strong, semiabstract quality of his woodcuts had a profound effect on the development of twentieth-century art. Here readers will discover why Gauguin was one of the most important artists behind European modernism--yet one who also challenged its very tenets. Because while modern art largely rejected narrative, for Gauguin it remained central.

Gauguin is the first book to fully examine his use of stories and myth to give powerful narrative tension to his paintings at a time when other painters thought storytelling was dead. Gauguin's life in French Polynesia is often portrayed as a quest for the other, with the artist as the romantic explorer encountering primitive cultures for the first time. In fact, he was deeply immersed in world art and a great reader of Polynesian stories and myths. This book cuts through the mystique surrounding Gauguin--one the artist himself cultivated--to show how he self-mythologized, presenting himself to the world as a suffering, Christ-like figure.

Stunningly illustrated and unprecedented in scope, Gauguin features more than 200 museum-quality reproductions of paintings, works on paper, ceramics, woodcarvings, and writings, including Gauguin's beautifully illustrated letters and books.
