Paul Gauguin - Caroline Bugler

This beautifully illustrated full-color hardback explores the life
and work of Paul Gauguin, one of the leading lights of Post-Impressionism.

Gauguin's vision of a tropical arcadia in the South
Seas has beguiled generations of gallery goers, but a close look at his
life and art reveals a complex man in constant search for a primitive
paradise that was elusive. Caroline Bugler explores Gauguin's extensive
travels and artistic experiments, many of them driven by a strong desire
to explore the unknown, and to discover what he saw as the 'savage'
aspect of his own nature.

Examples of his work are included, such as Tahitian Women on the Beach and Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?.
These are featured alongside timelines and feature spreads on key
themes, including Gauguin's tumultuous time living with Van Gogh in
Arles.

This new addition to The Great Artists series tells the story of this astonishingly original artist, who bent the rules in art and life.
