Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a pioneering figure in Post-Impressionist art, known for his bold use of color and symbolic content. His quest for a "lost paradise" led him from Brittany to the islands of the South Pacific, where he sought to capture the essence of a wild, untamed nature. As the leader of the Pont-Aven School, Gauguin's innovative approach to form and color had a profound influence on modern painting.
This volume offers an accessible yet insightful exploration of Gauguin's life and work, providing readers with a deeper understanding of his artistic journey and legacy.
