Gauguin
Paul Gauguin achieved a high public profile during his lifetime, and was one of the first artists of his generation to achieve international recognition. But his prominence has always had as much to do with the dramatic events of his life - his self-imposed exile on a remote South Sea island, his turbulent relationships with his peers - as with the appeal of his art. Belinda Thomson gives a comprehensive and accessible account of the life and work of one of the most original artists of the late 19th century. Gauguin's work - painting, sculpture, prints and ceramics - is discussed in the light of his public persona, his relations with his contemporaries, his exhibitions and their critical reception. Belinda Thomson reveals Gauguin's private world, beliefs and aspirations through his extensive cache of journals, letters and other writings. Fully updated throughout, drawing on the insights of thirty years of scholarship since its first edition, Thomson's text remains the best introduction of this controversial and often contradictory artist.

Paul gauguin
French artist Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) reproached the Impressionists for searching ‘around the eye and not at the mysterious centre of thought.’ In his own work, therefore, Gauguin was pursuing a ‘mysterious centre’ – but what does this enigmatic phrase mean? In Paul Gauguin, Dario Gamboni illuminates this quest, and takes a fresh look at Gauguin’s output in all media: from ceramics, sculptures, prints, drawings and paintings, to his large body of correspondence and writings. This innovative, in-depth investigation provides a new understanding of Gauguin’s art and thought, revealing a coherence and continuity previously overlooked. ‘Gauguin’s crucible is his brain’, wrote the late nineteenth-century art critic Jean Dolent. Gamboni shows that, indeed, the interaction between perception, cognition and imagination was at the core of the artist’s work. Emulating the artist’s curiosity for literature, psychology, philosophy, theology, anthropology, the natural sciences and art, and including close readings of artworks both famous and lesser-known, this richly illustrated, original study gives new insight into a well known yet little understood artist. The book will appeal to students and scholars of Gauguin, as well as those new to his work wishing to learn more about this pivotal post-Impressionist figure.

Savage tales : the writings of Paul Gauguin
\"An original study of Gauguin's writings, unfolding their central role in his artistic practice and negotiation of colonial identity. As a French artist who lived in Polynesia, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) occupies a crucial position in histories of European primitivism. This is the first book devoted to his wide-ranging literary output, which included journalism, travel writing, art criticism, and essays on aesthetics, religion, and politics. It analyzes his original manuscripts, some of which are richly illustrated, reinstating them as an integral component of his art. The seemingly haphazard, collage-like structure of Gauguin's manuscripts enabled him to evoke the \"primitive\" culture that he celebrated, while rejecting the style of establishment critics. Gauguin's writing was also a strategy for articulating a position on the margins of both the colonial and the indigenous communities in Polynesia; he sought to protect Polynesian society from \"civilization\" but remained implicated in the imperialist culture that he denounced. This critical analysis of his writings significantly enriches our understanding of the complexities of artistic encounters in the French colonial context.\"--Publisher's description.

Absence and loneliness. On a painting by Van Gogh
Phenomenological description or existential analysis were even more relevant. What he loses in such a situation is the closeness of others. [...]loneliness refers to a negative fact: being abandoned or forgotten by others. In modern literature, the search for solitude is a well-established theme, for example in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions. Incidentally, another painting by Van Gogh is entitled Paul Gauguin's Chair, painted in the same period as Vincent's Chair, December 1888.

TIERRA PRIMITIVA. FLOTACIONES Y ABATIMIENTOS
SUMMARY Since the end of the 19th century, some painters, such as the French Paul Gauguin or the German Max Pechstein, felt the need to physically move to the places where primitive people lived, attracted by the force of their art. Not content with observing the productions of these so-called \"primitive\" cultures in ethnographic museums, many artists of the European avant-garde of the 20th century embarked on a direct exploration of them, undertaking long journeys to share even their way of life. Primitivism was an essential ingredient in the formation of new avant-garde art and, in 1911, Wilhelm Worringer, a leading figure in the historiography of art, was unequivocal in his defence of it. All these authors refer to the myths developed in these cultures, which are directly related to the earth and to an eventual collapse of UE onto the earth.
