Paul Gauguin. Paul Gauguin gave up his promising career at the bank in 1883, deciding that “from now onwards I will paint every day.” The co-founder of Synthetism and trailblazer of Expressionism turned his back on the world of the bourgeoisie, left his wife and children, and departed for the South Seas in 1891, having financed the journey by selling 30 paintings. His thoughts on art, his existential worries, his discovery of color, and his search for paradise are brought back to life in this volume through excerpts from letters and quotations. Complemented by approximately 40 color reproductions of his works, his biography and a foreword by an expert, the volume provides a very special view of Gauguin’s cosmos.
