Paul Gauguin (Sirius Great Artists Series)

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

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.
