Review:
I didn't think it could be done: A new collection of essays about Gauguin that contains original research and new conclusions. And important ones too, about gender, sex, vision, religion, power, identity and colonialism. This is a Gauguin for the 21st century! - Stephen F. Eisenman, Professor of Art History, Northwestern University, USA
The diversity of scholarly voices assembled by Norma Broude in Gauguin's Challenge provides a rich variety of perspectives on the artist's disputed colonialist imagery of the exotic French Polynesia of the 1890s. Just as Gauguin's postimpressionist art challenged the aesthetic, political, racial, and sexual standards of his day, so does his beautiful and disturbing art remain a challenge for us to face up to its complexities and contradictions. This passionate volume shows how productive the unfinished conversation on Gauguin can still be for artists, professors, students, and the general public. - Steven Z. Levine, Leslie Clark Professor in the Humanities, Bryn Mawr College, USA
With Gauguin's Challenge Norma Broude succeeds in presenting a collection of insightful articles by diverse authors who analyze Gauguin's art and writing. Reassessing both the artist's work and historic persona beyond pioneering postcolonial and feminist critiques, this book contributes masterfully to advancing Gauguin studies. - --Ruth E. Iskin, Professor of Modern Art, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, and author of The Poster: Art, Advertising, Design and Collecting, 1860s-1900s

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una obra básica para comprender la pintura de Gauguin. Anticonformista, original, inspirado, valiente, inquieto: Paul Gauguin es uno de los pintores más fascinantes de finales del siglo XIX, uno de los pocos que rechazó las brillantes pero fáciles seducciones del París impresionista y alegre. A las dificultades y las amarguras de la vida diaria, Gauguin contrapone la búsqueda sublime de la pureza y de la belleza, por las que está dispuesto a dejarlo todo y embarcarse en un viaje al otro extremo del mundo. Desde Bretaña a Tahití, desde los campos franceses a la Polinesia, Gauguin nos lleva por un itinerario sorprendente y maravilloso. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
