Book Description
In this classic monograph, Françoise Cachin traces the evolution of Gauguin's theories and painting technique
from his earliest days as a selftaught painter to his last masterpieces painted in the South Seas. The text and
over 300 illustrations follow Gauguin from Brittany to the Marquesas Islands in his life long search for the authentic,
a search that passes through his break with the Impressionists and involvement with the Neo-Impressionists to the
startling paintings made during his stay among the South Pacific islanders. Copiously illustrated throughout, this
acclaimed study places the artist's work in the context of his life, quoting from his copious correspondence to
show how his painting was affected by what was going on around him-from the effervescence of his contemporaries
to his personal tragedies.
This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect current international museum holdings.
