Gauguin

Gauguin by Gauguin is a post-impressionist art exhibition that features the works of Paul Gauguin, a French painter who lived from 1848 to 1903. The exhibition showcases some of Gauguin's most famous works, including paintings and woodcuts, and provides insight into his artistic style and techniques.

Gauguin was known for his bold use of color, simplified forms, and flat planes that evoke the emotions and spiritual attitudes of the people he encountered during his travels to exotic locations such as Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. Through his vibrant compositions, he sought to express an idealized vision of life that was in stark contrast to the rapidly modernizing and industrialized world of Europe during the late 19th century.

In addition to his paintings, Gauguin also created a number of woodcuts, which he considered to be the purest form of expression. These prints often feature simplified designs and bold lines that emphasize texture and pattern over realism.

• The exhibition contains over 50 pieces of Gauguin's artwork.
• It covers a wide range of themes including religion, spirituality, and life in Polynesia.
• Visitors can also see sketches and preliminary drawings that Gauguin created in preparation for his paintings.
