“Paul Gauguin, a French artist born in 1848 and passing in 1903, stood alongside contemporaries Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne as a trailblazer in the realm of modernist art. His innovative use of vibrant colors, flattened planes, and simplified yet distorted forms in paintings, coupled with his rugged, semi-abstract approach in sculptures and woodcuts, exerted an indelible influence on the avant-garde artists of the early 20th century. This influence rippled across luminaries like Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and the German Expressionists.

Absence of formal artistic training characterized Gauguin’s journey. His life was marked by wanderlust, as he found temporary abodes across different corners of the world, with Tahiti being the most renowned. Although he was born in Paris, his early years unfolded in Lima, Peru, a place where familial connections existed. This Peruvian connection kindled a lifelong yearning for travel and self-identification as a “savage,” a term encapsulating his nuanced view of non-Western cultures, both idealizing and derogatory. His youth saw him working on the Paris stock exchange while painting in his spare hours. Between 1879 and 1886, his works graced Impressionist exhibitions, but the trajectory shifted as he aligned with the burgeoning Symbolist movement, emphasizing inner emotions and suggestive evocations over natural light’s visual impacts. With the French stock market crash in 1882 leading to his job loss, Gauguin embraced painting as a full-fledged vocation.

In 1891, the allure of Tahiti, a utopian realm untouched by European norms, led Gauguin to set sail from France. There, he forged luminous paintings and compact, totemic wood sculptures, branding them “ultra-savage.” These creations, like “Hina Tefatou (The Moon and the Earth)” from 1893, resonated more as idealized projections rather than direct observations. Returning to France in 1893, Gauguin’s Tahitian-themed works didn’t garner the response he envisioned, pushing him to depart once more in 1895 for his second Tahitian voyage. His ultimate relocation to the remote Marquesas Islands in 1901 marked his final chapter, concluding with his passing in 1903.

Gauguin’s artistic genius transcended mediums, setting him apart from his peers. Beyond painting, he dabbled in ceramics, woodcarving, lithography, woodcut, monotype, and transfer drawing. Woodcuts like “Te Atua (The Gods)” from 1893-94 intertwined the boldness of his carved sculptures with luminous, evocative color. His invention of oil transfer drawing, an amalgamation of drawing and printmaking, birthed compositions like “Tahitian Woman with Evil Spirit” around 1900. Through these ventures into printmaking, Gauguin harnessed the ethereal abstractions of the medium, casting an enigmatic, dreamy veil over his artistry.”
