Paul Gauguin Av Caroline Bugler

<p><b>This beautifully illustrated full-color hardback explores the life and work of Paul Gauguin, one of the leading lights of Post-Impressionism.</b><br><br>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. <br><br>Examples of his work are included, such as <i>Tahitian Women on the Beach </i>and <i>Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?</i>. These are featured alongside timelines and feature spreads on key themes, including Gauguin's tumultuous time living with Van Gogh in Arles. <br><br>This new addition to <i>The Great Artists</i> series tells the story of this astonishingly original artist, who bent the rules in art and life.<br><br> <b>ABOUT THE SERIES:</b> <i>The Great Artists </i>series by Arcturus Publishing introduces some of the most significant artists across history, looking at their lives, techniques and inspirations, as well as presenting a selection of their best work.</p>
