FACTS AND COMMENTS
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a French post-impressionist painter who,
together with Cezanne and Van Gogh, had a great influence on the development
of modern art. Gauguin abandoned his family and a respectable job in a Paris
bank to paint. He spent most of 1890s in Tahiti, where he developed his own
style of imaginative symbolism, using very bright colours and simple, flat, rather
distorted forms. Gauguin’s rejection of naturalism and impressionism and his
interest to the impressive power of primitive art inspired many artists.
