Description

Paul Gauguin, the stockbroker who started off as a Sunday painter, became world-famous for renouncing civilization to live in the South Seas Initially he adopted the Impressionist technique, finding it liberating, but eventually found his own distingctive style, with boldly outline forms & strong, flat colors In this exciting work 50 of Gauguin's best-known & most representative works are reproduced, including his 'synthetist' style. He is still known today for his Tahitian paintings with their sculpturesque treatment of figures. - from Amzon
