Paul Gauguin: Where Do we Come From? What Are We? Where Are we

Paul Gauguin: Where Do we Come From? What Are We? Where Are we Going? (Mfa Spotlight)

The life of Paul Gauguin (1848â€“1903) is one of the richest and most mythic in the history of Western art. Abandoning a career in banking, a family and his homeland, in the last decade of the nineteenth century he sailed from France to the South Seas to seek a life â€œin ecstasy, in peace and for art.â€ During his years in Tahiti, Gauguin brought forth a wealth of astonishing paintings, culminating in this monumental meditation on what he called the â€œever-present riddleâ€ of human existence posed in the workâ€™s title. This compact introduction to Gauguinâ€™s masterpiece explores its relation to European models as well as to the artistâ€™s own companion pieces.
