Paul Gauguin on the WWW






 
Paul (Eugéne-Henri) Gauguin was born on June 7, 1848 in Paris, but grew up in Lima as the son of a French Journalist and a Peruvian mother. Gauguin is considered one of the leading painters of the Postimpressionist period. His painting also marked the start of a new style in painting that became kown as Symbolism. His striking images of Polynesian women rank among the most beautiful paintings of the modern age. In 1904, Gauguin, dissipated by drug-addiction, died of syphilis.

Paul Gauguin and the Russian Avantgarde
200,000 visitors have seen the exhibition about Gauguin and the Russian avant-garde in Ferrara, and 15,000 people have visited the web exhibit to date. Some 30 paintings, 20 drawings and several sculptures are presented at this site. All 59 thumbnails can be loaded together as a big poster. Unfortunately, explanatory text is fully lacking. But for Gauguin fans it's still a goldmine!
 

Gauguin and the School of Pont-Aven
Critics of the dearth of text at the exhibit "Gauguin and the Russian avant-garde" can now get some information about Paul Gauguin at this special exhibit by Boston's Museum of Fine Art. Sixteen of the museum's 120 art works are presented here online. Brief text captions inform about the origins of this new style that came into being in a small town named Pont-Aven (Bretagne/France) and totally broke with naturalism.
