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.

Le regard de Paul Gauguin sur le Pacifique resplendit de couleurs et de lumiere Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) n’etait pas fait pour la finance. Ni pour faire carriere dans la marine francaise, ni pour demeurer vendeur de baches a Copenhague sans parler un mot de danois. C’est dans son temps libre qu’il debuta la peinture en 1873 et participa en 1876 au Salon de Paris. Trois ans plus tard, il etait expose aux cotes de Pissaro, Degas et Monet. Homme bourru, grand buveur, Gauguin se qualifiait lui-meme aussi de sauvage. Son etroite mais difficile amitie avec le tout aussi imprevisible Vincent van Gogh connut un violent epilogue en 1888, quand Van Gogh se defend soi-disant de Gauguin avec une lame de rasoir et, l’instant d’apres, se tranche l’oreille. Peu apres, ayant acheve La vision apres le sermon (1888), chef-d’?uvre marquant le milieu de sa carriere, Gauguin decide de partir pour Tahiti avec l’intention d’echapper a «tout ce qui est artificiel et conventionnel…» Sur place, Gauguin jouit sans entraves de la nature de l’ile, des autochtones et de la profusion des images qui lui inspirent une production foisonnante de peintures et de gravures. A travers des ?uvres comme La femme a la fleur (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) ou Joie de se reposer (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), il developpe un style particulier, primitif, rayonnant intensement de lumiere et de couleurs. Dans la tradition de la sensualite exotique, ses coups de pinceau denses, debordant de peinture, epousent et s’attardent sur les courbes des tahitiennes. Gauguin meurt seul, sur les iles Marquises voisines de Tahiti, la plupart de ses affaires ayant ete dispersees dans des ventes aux encheres locales. Il a fallu attendre qu’un habile marchand d’art commence a collectionner et a montrer l’?uvre de Gauguin a Paris pour que la profonde influence du peintre se fasse reellement sentir, notamment aupres de la nouvelle generation des artistes francais d’avant-garde, tels que Picasso et Matisse. Cet ouvrage presente un apercu essentiel de l’univers de l’artiste, si riche en couleurs, depuis les Salons impressionnistes parisiens des annees 1870 jusqu’a la fin de sa vie, productive et passionnee, dans le Pacifique.

Peintre, dessinateur, sculpteur, mais aussi collectionneur d'art, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) fut le chef de file de l'ecole de Pont-Aven, et l'un des plus importants peintres postimpressionnistes. En peignant aupres de Camille Pissarro, Gauguin developpe une approche nouvelle des formes et des couleurs. Ses recherches esthetiques le menent en Bretagne, avant de l'entrainer dans les iles du Pacifique en quete d'un paradis perdu et d'une nature sauvage. Son influence sera determinante pour la peinture moderne.

Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was not cut out for finance. Nor did he last particularly long in the French Navy, or as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen who did not speak Danish. He began painting in his spare time in 1873 and in 1876 took part in the Paris Salon. Three years later, he was exhibiting alongside Pissarro, Degas, and Monet.A querulous, hard-drinking individual, Gauguin often called himself a savage. His close but fraught friendship with the similarly temperamental Vincent van Gogh climaxed in a violent incident in 1888, when van Gogh purportedly confronted Gauguin with a razor blade, and later cut off his own ear. Shortly afterwards, following the completion of a midcareer masterpiece Vision After the Sermon (1888), Gauguin took himself to Tahiti, with the intention of escaping “everything that is artificial and conventional…”On Tahiti, Gauguin’s unfettered joy in the island’s nature, native people, and figurative images soared, spurring a prolific output of paintings and prints. In works such as Woman with a Flower (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) and Sacred Spring: Sweet Dreams (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), he developed a distinct, Primitivist style that positively oozed with sunshine and color. In the tradition of exotic sensuality, his thick, buttery lashings of paint lingered in particular over the curves of Tahitian women.Gauguin died alone, on Tahiti’s neighboring Marquesas Islands, with many of his personal papers and belongings dispersed in a local auction. It was not until a smart art dealer began curating and showing Gauguin’s work in Paris that the artist’s profound influence began making itself felt, especially to the new breed of French avant-garde artists, such as Picasso and Matisse.This book offers the essential introduction the artist’s truly colorful life, from the Impressionist salons of 1870s Paris to his final days in the Pacific, productive and passionate to the end.

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was one of the most important artists of the late nineteenth century, and one whose work was to have a profound influence on the development of art in the twentieth century. He began as an Impressionist – he contributed with major works to five of the eight Impressionist exhibitions between 1879 and 1886 –, but went on to develop a most richly-coloured style in his constant search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature. Both David Sweetman and John Richardson – his main biographers – remark that Gauguin's posthumous retrospective exhibitions at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1903 and an even larger one in 1906 had a stunning and powerful influence on the French avant-garde and in particular on Pablo Picasso's paintings. “He was always loath to admit Gauguin's role in setting him on the road to primitivism”, Richardson said. This concise monograph collects the most important works by Gauguin, not only of his best known paintings of Tahiti in which the artist attempted to reconstruct the perfect life which he had failed to find in reality, but also of many powerful works that reflect the artist’s contact with other seminal early modern masters like Van Gogh or Cezanne.

The book is edited by Cornelia Homburg and Christopher Riopelle and is being published to coincide with the exhibition of the same title to be held at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (May 24 - September 8, 2019), and at the National Gallery in London (October 7, 2019 - January 26, 2020). The exhibition will display some sixty works by Gauguin - paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional objects made of various materials - from public and private collections throughout the world. It is the aim of Gauguin. Portraits to fill this gap in the scholarly examination of one of the leading figures in Post-Impressionism. There is much to discover about the attributes he endowed his models with and the evocative settings he chose for them, highly charged as these props were with symbolic meanings. This book, which is intended as a standard text in this specific field, includes essays written by an array of experts in Gauguin's work, all established scholars and young researchers. University and museum specialists combine their talents to explore in-depth the many aspects of the artist's portraits, often in the light of the remarks he made about his models. The authors focus in particular on the importance and different meanings portraits had for Gauguin in his oeuvre. Text in French.
