Features: Paul Gauguin, along with Cézanne and Van Gogh, was a renowned "Post-Impressionist" painter in modern art history. His creative career was filled with adventure and legend. To pursue his ideal of an artistic kingdom, he abandoned a civilized and luxurious life and traveled to French Polynesia to seek his new paradise. On the wild, uncharted islands of the South Pacific, Gauguin freely depicted the myths and pastoral life of the Māori indigenous people, strongly expressing his own longing for primitivism and wilderness. This book provides an in-depth introduction to Gauguin's creative philosophy and life story, compiling his life's masterpieces and woodcuts with a Tahitian flavor. Through his works, we can see the manifestation of Gauguin's character, the raw charm and pure beauty he. It is precisely these qualities that brought Gauguin a new vitality to painting and laid the foundation for successors.
