In addition to the many important paintings from collections throughout the world, the ornamental ceramic vessels, carved doorframes, transfer watercolors, and drawings add a new dimension to our understanding of how Gauguin came to exert such a great and lasting influence over modern art. Gauguin's remarkable production as an artist, rather than his exotic, troubled life in such places as Tahiti and Brittany, is the true subject of this volume. Six incisive essays and informative commentaries on almost 300 works of art chronicle Gauguin's life and career. The book also includes an illustrated, fully documented chronology; a bibliography; and an index of titles of works. The authors of The Art of Paul Gauguin are among the most distinguished scholars in the field of late nineteenth~century French art: Francoise Cachin, director, Musee d'Orsay; Richard Brettell, director, Dallas Museum of Art, formerly Searle Curator of Paintings, The Art Institute of Chicago; Claire Freches~Thory, curator, Musco d'Orsay; Charles F. Stuckey, curator of twentieth~century art, The Art Institute of Chicago and formerly of the National Gallery, all assisted by Peter Zegers, special consultant to the project. "This exhibition is a celebration of Paul Gauguin, the artist~traveler, taking us from his early years in France through sojourns in Brittany; Martinique, and Aries and then, finally; to Tahiti. The Art of Paul Gauguin is the first exhibition since the memorial show in Paris in 1906 to cover the full range of Gauguin's work: painting, sculpture, ceramics, and graphic arts." ~J. Carter Brown, Director, National Gallery of Art. "Gauguin was the greatest colorist of the late nineteenth century and the principal source for a tradition in twentieth century painting that continued with Matisse. During the five~year preparation of this exhibition a wealth of new technical and documentary material has come to light that will contribute significantly to our understanding of Gauguin's life and work." ~James N. Wood, Director, The Art Institute of Chicago.…
