Ürün Tanıtımı
PaulGauguin (1848–1903) was not cut out for finance. Nor did he last particularlylong in the French Navy, or as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen who did notspeak Danish. He began painting in his spare time in 1873 and in 1876 took partin the Paris Salon. Three years later, he was exhibiting alongside Pissarro,Degas, and Monet.
Aquerulous, hard-drinking individual, Gauguin often called himself a savage. Hisclose but fraught friendship with the similarly temperamental Vincent van Goghclimaxed in a violent incident in 1888, when van Gogh purportedly confrontedGauguin with a razor blade, and later cut off his own ear. Shortly afterwards,following the completion of a midcareer masterpiece Vision After the Sermon(1888), Gauguin took himself to Tahiti, with the intention of escaping'everything that is artificial and conventional…”
OnTahiti, Gauguin’s unfettered joy in the island’s nature, native people, andfigurative images soared, spurring a prolific output of paintings and prints.In works such as Woman with a Flower (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) and SacredSpring: Sweet Dreams (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), he developed a distinct, Primitiviststyle that positively oozed with sunshine and color. In the tradition of exoticsensuality, his thick, buttery lashings of paint lingered in particular overthe curves of Tahitian women.
Gauguindied alone, on Tahiti’s neighboring Marquesas Islands, with many of hispersonal papers and belongings dispersed in a local auction. It was not until asmart art dealer began curating and showing Gauguin’s work in Paris that theartist’s profound influence began making itself felt, especially to the new breedof French avant-garde artists, such as Picasso and Matisse.This book offers theessential introduction the artist’s truly colorful life, from the Impressionistsalons of 1870s Paris to his final days in the Pacific, productive andpassionate to the end.
