GAUGUIN, Paul
1848 Paris – 1903 French Polynesia.Postimpressionism
Gauguin (Eugene-Henri-)Paul, was one of the leading French painters of the Postimpressionist period, whose development of a conceptual method of representation was a decisive step for 20th-century art. After spending a short period with Vincent van Gogh in Arles (1888), Gauguin increasingly abandoned imitative art for expressiveness through colour. From 1891 he lived and worked in Tahiti and elsewhere in the South Pacific.
His masterpieces include the early Vision After the Sermon (1988) and Where Do We Come From ? What Are We ? Where Are We going ? (1897-1898). Gauguin’s art has all the appearance of a flight from civilisation, of a search for new ways of life, more primitive, more real and more sincere. His break away from a solid middle-class world, abandoning family, children and job, his refusal to accept glory and easy gain are the best-known aspects of Gauguin’s fascinating life and personality. Below picture, also known as Two Women on the Beach was painted in 1981, shortly after Gauguin’s arrival in Tahiti. During his first stay there (he was to leave in 1893, only to return in 1895 and remain until his death), Gauguin dicovered primitive art, with its flat forms and the violent colors, becoming to an untamed nature.
