Paul Gauguin: Drawings [EPUB ebook] 

Eugene-Henri-Paul Gauguin was French painter, sculptor, and printmaker. Gauguin’s style developed from Impressionism through a brief cloisonnist period in the direction of a highly individual Symbolism, which to combine and contrast an idealized vision of primitive Polynesian culture. Paul Gauguin styled himself and his art as ‘savage.’; he fled farther from urban civilization in search of a hedonic paradise where he could create pure, ‘primitive’ art. Gauguin pioneered the Symbolist art movement in France and set the stage for Fauvism and Expressionism. This book introduces us to the works of Paul Gauguin from a different angle. It presents drawings and pastels of this better known as colorist and painter artist.
