Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer. His work is primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements. Gauguin’s experimental use of color and Synthetist style set him apart from Impressionism. Born in Paris, he embarked on a journey that led him to Brittany, Martinique, and eventually Tahiti, where he sought refuge from Western civilization. His vivid paintings explore the relationships between people, nature, and the spiritual world. Gauguin’s legacy continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
