Description

Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) moved away from impressionism to
create a new art driven less by observation than by imagination.
His gifts as an artist were matched by his talent for creating myths
about places, cultures, and most of all, himself. The former stockbroker
invented personal mythologies, including Gauguin the
Savage, Gauguin the Fallen Angel, and Gauguin the Wanderer.
In his search for paradise, he traveled to ever more remote
lands—Brittany, Martinique, Tahiti—before dying in the
Marquesas Islands.
