Britain's What's On Event Guide
Art Talks, The Post Impressionists, Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin is a misunderstood artist who is often associated simply with his Tahitian figure groups. He was not recognised as a leading artist in his lifetime but thanks to his dealer he became recognised as an important artist shortly after his death and has remained a leading Post-Impressionist ever since. The talk with Laurence examines his work and his motivations. He once said that he wanted to escape from everything that is artificial and conventional about European art and hoped to find an idyllic paradise in Tahiti but was sadly disappointed.
