Paul Gauguin
Gauguin, (Eugène Henri) Paul
Gauguin, (Eugène Henri) Paul (1848–1903) French painter, one of the greatest artists of
post-impressionism. In his early career, Gauguin exhibited (1881–86) with the impressionists in Paris.
The Vision After the Sermon (1888) is a key work in Gauguin's break with the naturalism of
impressionism. His belief that form and pattern should represent mental images influenced
symbolism. Gauguin developed his own ‘synthetist’ style of
expressionism characterized by bold contours and large areas of unmodulated colour. Inspired by ‘primitive’ art, he left France for Tahiti in 1891. The late works, often of South Sea islanders, convey a sense of mystery and myth. They include
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? (1897) and
Faa Iheihe (1898).
