A sepia picture of an Anglo-Polynesian woman bought at auction by the author leads him to set off following the traces left by Gauguin of his travels round the globe. Who was the woman in the painting and why did Gauguin paint the face of her son, Atiti, on the day of his death at Papeete? He decides to go to the South Seas in search of the woman and her story.And so starts the author's reconstruction of Gauguin's life, an artist who thought he could find himself by escaping from reality, a man who reinvented exoticism, and finally lost his mind. Accessible and compelling, IN SEARCH OF GAUGUIN is a spiritual, human and geographical quest which takes in Holland, Brittany, Provence, Denmark, Panama, Martinique and Tahiti. Coatalem travels in the company of dead painters, patrons, art dealers, and the women of the south seas. Who was the true Gauguin? A businessman chasing sales of his work? A father of five children left behind in Copenhagen. A mystic? A genius?

A Frenchman in Tahiti After starting a career as a bank broker, Paul Gauguin (born 1848) turned to painting only at age twenty-five. After initial successes within the Impressionist circle, he broke with Vincent van Gogh and subsequently, when private difficulties caused him to become restless, embarked on a peripatetic life, wandering first through Europe and finally, in the search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature, to Tahiti. The paintings created from this time to his death in 1903 brought him posthumous fame. In pictures devoid of any attempt at romantically disguising the life style of the primitive island peoples, Gauguin was able to convey the magical effect that both the landscapes and life of the natives--their body language, charm and beauty--had on him. Wearying of his reputation as a South Sea painter, Gauguin finally determined to return to France, but died of syphilis on the Marquis Islands before his departure. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

Always on the move - he was brought up in Lima and worked in Paris and Brittany - Paul Gauguin left France for good in 1891 to settle in Tahiti. The canvases he sent back were to have a profound influence on 20th-century art; their revolutionary use of brilliant pure colour and rejection of naturalism were an inspiration to a generation of younger artists, from Matisse to Picasso.

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was an artist perpetually in search of new horizons. This fascinating visual tour reveals the full extent of Gauguin's travels and their influence on his unique style. Gauguin's several lengthy trips to Tahiti and the Marquesas between 1891 and the artist's death, visits that provided the inspiration for many of his most famous canvases, are well known and documented here in rich detail. Less familiar are stories from his early years living with his family in Peru, which Gauguin would later describe as "idyllic," and his years in the French Navy, which would take him to numerous destinations including India. Throughout the 1880s, as a young man starting a family and struggling to become established within the art world, the restless Gauguin moved often--within Paris, to Rouen, to Copenhagen, and back to Paris. Abundantly illustrated with hundreds of vibrant images, including archival material and the artist's own works, The Gauguin Atlas brings to life the places that Gauguin visited and lived. The book's handsome design seamlessly integrates maps and other images with an accessible and engaging text that narrates Gauguin's travels; what emerges is a vivid picture of an artist continually seeking new experience and inspiration for his art.

THE GREAT GAUGUIN is a biographical historical novel about the great French artist, Paul Gauguin, published in two volumes, by William Bostock, the author of I, Cleopatra. In Search of Glory, Volume I, is the odyssey that led Gauguin from a young sailor in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, to being a wealthy stockbroker in Paris, to becoming an aspiring artist in the Bohemian world of Montparnasse. Married to the beautiful Danish girl Mette, he attracted a glittering entourage that was made up of the leading figures of the day, Pissarro, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas and Vincent van Gogh. He became a rebel genius who scandalized society with his lusty life that was reflected in his provocative paintings. In Bostock's novel, Gauguin struggles to achieve greatness as an artist, against insurmountable odds, in an enthralling tale that vividly evokes a bygone age.

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) began his career as a stockbroker. It was not until 1883 that he finally gave up his job to devote himself to art. The rest of his life, with its constant search for a 'lost paradise' untouched by nineteenth-century civilization constitutes one of the most widely known legends in the history of European art. He began as an Impressionist but developed a more two-dimensional and more richly colored style that is in places almost heraldic in effect and was to have a great influence on the non-naturalistic development of twentieth-century art. This new anthology presents many of the great masterpieces that Gauguin painted in Paris, Brittany, Tahiti and the Marquesas, chosen from museums and private collections all over the world. -- From publisher's description.
