Description
Paul Gauguin: A Life of Passion and Art A provocative and deeply personal portrait of the trailblazing artist Paul Gauguin, this book offers a fresh and nuanced exploration of his life and work. Sue Prideaux, the prize-winning author of I Am Dynamite!, brings her trademark insight and authority to this vital re-examination of Gauguin's life and legacy. Through Gauguin's art and letters, Prideaux reveals a complex and often contradictory figure, driven by both creative passion and personal turmoil. This is a story of artistic innovation, of the tensions between tradition and innovation, and of the enduring power of art to express the human experience.
