Description

Gauguin: His Life & Works in 500 Images is an expert account of the Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, who defied convention to pursue his art in the South Seas. This informative book explores the influences that defined his style, from Impressionist painters to the brilliant hues and primitive forms of the Pacific Islands.

Featuring a gallery of 300 of his finest paintings, the book takes readers on a journey through Gauguin's personal and working life, from his early work in France to his vibrant pictures of tropical landscapes. A key aspect of his style is Cloisonnism, a technique inspired by medieval enamelling.

Written by Susie Hodge, an expert with an MA in the History of Art by Research, this beautifully illustrated book is a comprehensive collection of Gauguin's works. It is essential reading for anyone looking to learn about this important artist and view his paintings in one collection.
