Several decades have now passed since postcolonial and feminist critiques presented the art-historical world with a demythologized Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), a much-diminished image of the artist/hero who had once been universally admired as “the father of modernist primitivism.” In this volume, both long-established and more recent Gauguin scholars offer a provocative picture of the evolution of Gauguin scholarship in the recent postmodern era, as they confront and consider how the dismantling of the longstanding Gauguin myth positions us now in the 21st century to deal with and assess the life, work, and legacy of this still perennially popular artist. To reassess the challenges that Gauguin faced in his own day as well as those that he continues to present to current and future scholarship, they explore the multiple contexts that influenced Gauguin's thought and behavior as well as his art and incorporate a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, from anthropology, philosophy, and the history of science to gender studies and the study of Pacific cultural history. Dealing with a wide range of Gauguin's production, they challenge conventional art-historical thinking, highlight transnational perspectives, and offer clues to the direction of future scholarship, as audiences worldwide seek to make multicultural peace with Gauguin and his art. Broude has raised the bar of Gauguin scholarship ever higher in this groundbreaking volume, which will be necessary reading for students and scholars of art history, late 19th-century French and Pacific culture, gender studies, and beyond.

Embark on an artistic voyage through the life and works of Paul Gauguin, a groundbreaking figure who revolutionized the art world with his bold and expressive style. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into Gauguin's artistic journey, uncovering the secrets behind his unique approach and examining the profound impact he had on the art world. From his early days as a stockbroker to his transformation into a passionate artist, Gauguin's path was marked by both triumphs and tribulations. We witness his artistic awakening, fueled by a burning desire to break free from societal conventions and explore the raw beauty of the natural world. His travels to Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands provided him with an escape from the confines of Western civilization, allowing him to immerse himself in the vibrant colors and rich cultural traditions of these exotic lands. Gauguin's art reflected his fascination with the primitive and his quest for authenticity. He sought to capture the essence of these cultures through bold, vibrant colors and expressive lines, creating works that challenged traditional notions of beauty and representation. His paintings, such as "The Yellow Christ" and "Two Tahitian Women," became iconic symbols of his unique artistic vision. Beyond his artistic achievements, Gauguin was a prolific writer, leaving behind a wealth of letters, essays, and theoretical writings that shed light on his artistic philosophy and personal struggles. His writings offer a glimpse into the mind of a complex and enigmatic artist, revealing his deep contemplation of art, life, and the human condition. As we delve into Gauguin's story, we encounter a man of contradictions and complexities. He was a restless spirit, driven by an insatiable thirst for adventure and new experiences. Yet, he also battled inner demons, including poverty, ill health, and personal turmoil. Through his art, Gauguin sought to transcend these challenges and create a world of his own, a world where beauty and primitivism intertwined, and where the boundaries of artistic expression were pushed to their limits. This book is a celebration of Gauguin's artistic genius and a testament to his enduring legacy. Through his groundbreaking works and his passionate pursuit of artistic freedom, Gauguin changed the course of art history and continues to inspire generations of artists and art enthusiasts alike.

An unprecedented exploration of Gauguin's works in various media, from works on paper to clay and furniture Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a creative force above and beyond his legendary work as a painter. Surveying the full scope of his career-spanning experiments in different media and formats--clay, works on paper, wood, and paint, as well as furniture and decorative friezes--this volume delves into his enduring interest in craft and applied arts, reflecting on their significance to his creative process. Gauguin: Artist as Alchemist draws on extensive new research into the artist's working methods, presenting him as a consummate craftsman--one whose transmutations of the ordinary yielded new and remarkable forms. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this book includes essays by an international team of scholars who offer a rich analysis of Gauguin's oeuvre beyond painting. By embracing other art forms, which offered fewer dominant models to guide his work, Gauguin freed himself from the burden of artistic precedent. In turn, these groundbreaking creative forays, especially in ceramics, gave new direction to his paintings. The authors' insightful emphasis on craftsmanship deepens our understanding of Gauguin's considerable achievements as a painter, draftsman, sculptor, ceramist, and printmaker within the history of modern art.

"An original study of Gauguin's writings, unfolding their central role in his artistic practice and negotiation of colonial identity. As a French artist who lived in Polynesia, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) occupies a crucial position in histories of European primitivism. This is the first book devoted to his wide-ranging literary output, which included journalism, travel writing, art criticism, and essays on aesthetics, religion, and politics. It analyzes his original manuscripts, some of which are richly illustrated, reinstating them as an integral component of his art. The seemingly haphazard, collage-like structure of Gauguin's manuscripts enabled him to evoke the "primitive" culture that he celebrated, while rejecting the style of establishment critics. Gauguin's writing was also a strategy for articulating a position on the margins of both the colonial and the indigenous communities in Polynesia; he sought to protect Polynesian society from "civilization" but remained implicated in the imperialist culture that he denounced. This critical analysis of his writings significantly enriches our understanding of the complexities of artistic encounters in the French colonial context."--Publisher's description.

Paul Gauguin is commonly regarded as one of the greatest modern artists. He is renowned for resplendent, mythic imagery from Oceania, for a life of restless travel and for his supposed immersion in Polynesian life. But he has long been regarded ambivalently, and in recent years both Gauguin's sexual behaviour, and his paintings, have been considered exploitative. Gauguin and Polynesia offers a fresh view on the artist, not from the perspective of European art history, but from the contemporary vantage point of the region – Oceania – which he so famously moved to. Gauguin's art is revealed, for the first time, to be richer and more eclectic than has been recognised. The artist indeed did invent enigmatic and symbolic images, but he also depicted Polynesia's colonial modernity, acknowledging the life of the time and the dignity and power of some of the Islanders he encountered. Gauguin and Polynesia neither celebrates nor condemns an extraordinary painter, who at times denounced and at other times affirmed the French empire that shaped his own life and the places he moved between. It is a revelation, of a formative artist of modern life, and of multicultural worlds in the making.
