Paul Gauguin was one of the most extraordinary and innovative artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and his life and art have gripped the imagination of thepublic for over a hundred years. The vivid, unnaturalistic colours and bold outlines of his paintings and the strong, semi-abstract quality of his woodcuts had a profound effect on the development of twentieth-century art. At the same time, his extensive travels and his decision to forsake France for the South Seas have led him to be perceived as both the ultimate bohemian artist and as a European colonial adventurer.

This beautifully illustrated book, covering the whole of Gauguin's career and accompanying a major touring exhibition, focuses on his use of narrative, both as inspiration and fuel for his work and as a tool to create a personal mythology around himself as an artist. Essays by leading international experts, drawing on the latest research, go beyond the romance of the Gauguin biography to present him as a key figure in European modernity and its embrace of worlds and artefacts it described as primitive or savage. As well as featuring many well-known oil paintings and drawings, the book examines Gauguin's woodcarvings and ceramics and explores his legacy as a writer.
