Gauguin

Portada
Phaidon, 1971 - 16 páginas
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) began his career as a stockbroker. It was not until 1883 that he finally gave up his job to devote himself to art. The rest of his life, with its constant search for a 'lost paradise' untouched by nineteenth-century civilization constitutes one of the most widely known legends in the history of European art. He began as an Impressionist but developed a more two-dimensional and more richly colored style that is in places almost heraldic in effect and was to have a great influence on the non-naturalistic development of twentieth-century art. This new anthology presents many of the great masterpieces that Gauguin painted in Paris, Brittany, Tahiti and the Marquesas, chosen from museums and private collections all over the world. -- From publisher's description.
