| Book Description | This vibrant examination of paul gauguin's life and work features more than fifty pieces from the ny carlsberg glyptotek collection in copenhagen, including paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics along with oceanic art and gauguin's works on paper from the fine arts museums of san francisco's permanent collections. Each piece is reproduced in exquisite detail, offering a superb opportunity to enjoy gauguin's groundbreaking use of color, line, and form. Essays examine gauguin's relationships and reveal the struggles, indulgences, awakenings, and betrayals of his personal and professional life. Other essays provide new insights into gauguin's travels to the far reaches of the french colonial empire in the pacific and explore his cultural identity, sexuality, and spirituality. Beautifully designed to complement gauguin's extraordinary oeuvre, this book offers a refreshing take on an artist whose life and work continue to fascinate to the present day. |
