GAUGUIN, Eugène Henri Paul
Gaugin Paul was a French Post-Impressionist painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and write, and was an important figure in the Symbolist movement, and his
experimentation was indicative of the Synthetist style of modern art.
He also paved the way to the appreciation of primitivism, as his paintings employed many of the simplistic techniques employed by Naïve artists.
As an individual he was prone to bouts of depression and once attempted suicide. As a painter, he was disappointed with Impressionism, as he felt that the tradition of European painting had simply become imitative, and lacked the symbolic depth that he desired. He also thoroughly enjoyed the art of Africa and Asia, which was full of
symbolic depth, vigor, and meaning. In his escape from the traditional European paintings, he sought to find a tropical paradise, in which he could paint in an
increasingly primitive style and live off the land.
Lacking recognition for his work and with no money, he sailed to the tropical islands of Tahiti and Marquesas, in French Polynesia. His
exploits there generated much interest, especially his reputed sexual exploits with young native girls, some of which appear as the
subjects in his paintings.
In Polynesia, he often sided with the natives in their conflicts with the church and colonial authorities, eventually writing a book about his experiences there. Gaugin’s physical escape allowed his stylistic
escape of post-Renaissance painting, as he paid little attention to classical perspective and eliminated gradations of color and
shading. Inspired by the primitivism of the countries in which he lived, he also used primitive elements in his paintings to great
success.
