Walther Ingo F. Paul Gauguin. 1848-1903. The Primitive Sophisticate
After starting a career as a bank broker, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) turned to painting only at age twenty-five. After initial successes within the Impressionist circle, he broke with Vincent van Gogh and subsequently - when private difficulties caused him to become restless - embarked on a peripatetic life, wandering first through Europe and finally, in the search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature, to Tahiti. The paintings created from this time to his death in 1903 brought him posthumous fame. In pictures devoid of any attempt at romantically disguising the life style of the primitive island peoples, Gauguin was able to convey the magical effect that both the landscapes and life of the natives - their body language, charm and beauty - had on him. Wearying of his reputation as a South Sea painter, Gauguin finally determined to return to France, but died of syphilis on the Marquis Islands before his departure.

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was not cut out for finance. Nor did he last particularly long in the French Navy, or as a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen who did not speak Danish. He began painting in his spare time in 1873 and in 1876 took part in the Paris Salon. Three years later, he was exhibiting alongside Pissarro, Degas, and Monet. A querulous, hard-drinking individual, Gauguin often called himself a savage. His close but fraught friendship with the similarly temperamental Vincent van Gogh climaxed in a violent incident in 1888, when van Gogh purportedly confronted Gauguin with a razor blade, and later cut off his own ear. Shortly afterwards, following the completion of a midcareer masterpiece Vision After the Sermon (1888), Gauguin took himself to Tahiti, with the intention of escaping "everything that is artificial and conventional..." On Tahiti, Gauguin's unfettered joy in the island's nature, native people, and figurative images soared, spurring a prolific output of paintings and prints. In works such as Woman with a Flower (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) and Sacred Spring: Sweet Dreams (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), he developed a distinct, Primitivist style that positively oozed with sunshine and color. In the tradition of exotic sensuality, his thick, buttery lashings of paint lingered in particular over the curves of Tahitian women. Gauguin died alone, on Tahiti's neighboring Marquesas Islands, with many of his personal papers and belongings dispersed in a local auction. It was not until a smart art dealer began curating and showing Gauguin's work in Paris that the artist's profound influence began making itself felt, especially to the new breed of French avant-garde artists, such as Picasso and Matisse. This book offers the essential introduction the artist's truly colorful life, from the Impressionist salons of 1870s Paris to his final days in the Pacific, productive and passionate to the end.

Поль Гоген (1848–1903) не нуждался в финансах. Он также не продержался особенно долго во французском флоте или продавцом брезента в Копенгагене, который не говорил по-датски. Он начал рисовать в свободное время в 1873 году, а в 1876 году принял участие в парижском Салоне. Три года спустя он выставлялся вместе с Писсарро, Дега и Моне. Склочный, запойный человек, Гоген часто называл себя дикарем. Его близкая, но опасная дружба с таким же темпераментным Винсентом Ван Гогом достигла апогея в жестоком инциденте в 1888 году, когда Ван Гог якобы столкнул Гогена с лезвием бритвы, а затем отрезал себе ухо. Вскоре после этого, после завершения шедевра середины карьеры «Видение после проповеди» (1888), Гоген отправился на Таити с намерением избежать «всего искусственного и условного» люди, и фигуративные изображения взлетели, стимулируя обильный выпуск картин и гравюр. В таких работах, как «Женщина с цветком» (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) и «Священная весна: сладкие сны» (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), он разработал отчетливый примитивистский стиль, буквально источающий солнечный свет и цвет. В традициях экзотической чувственности его густые, маслянистые мазки краски задерживались, в частности, на изгибах таитянских женщин. Гоген умер в одиночестве на соседних с Таити Маркизских островах, многие из его личных бумаг и вещей были распроданы на местном аукционе. Только когда толковый арт-дилер начал курировать и показывать работы Гогена в Париже, глубокое влияние художника стало ощущаться, особенно среди нового поколения французских художников-авангардистов, таких как Пикассо и Матисс. Поистине яркая жизнь художника, от импрессионистских салонов Парижа 1870-х годов до его последних дней в Тихом океане, продуктивная и страстная до самого конца.О серии.

Walther Ingo F. Gauguin
Le regard de Paul Gauguin sur le Pacifique resplendit de couleurs et de lumiere Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) n’etait pas fait pour la finance. Ni pour faire carriere dans la marine francaise, ni pour demeurer vendeur de baches a Copenhague sans parler un mot de danois. C’est dans son temps libre qu’il debuta la peinture en 1873 et participa en 1876 au Salon de Paris. Trois ans plus tard, il etait expose aux cotes de Pissaro, Degas et Monet. Homme bourru, grand buveur, Gauguin se qualifiait lui-meme aussi de sauvage. Son etroite mais difficile amitie avec le tout aussi imprevisible Vincent van Gogh connut un violent epilogue en 1888, quand Van Gogh se defend soi-disant de Gauguin avec une lame de rasoir et, l’instant d’apres, se tranche l’oreille. Peu apres, ayant acheve La vision apres le sermon (1888), chef-d’?uvre marquant le milieu de sa carriere, Gauguin decide de partir pour Tahiti avec l’intention d’echapper a «tout ce qui est artificiel et conventionnel…» Sur place, Gauguin jouit sans entraves de la nature de l’ile, des autochtones et de la profusion des images qui lui inspirent une production foisonnante de peintures et de gravures. A travers des ?uvres comme La femme a la fleur (Vahine no te Tiare, 1891) ou Joie de se reposer (Nave Nave Moe, 1894), il developpe un style particulier, primitif, rayonnant intensement de lumiere et de couleurs. Dans la tradition de la sensualite exotique, ses coups de pinceau denses, debordant de peinture, epousent et s’attardent sur les courbes des tahitiennes. Gauguin meurt seul, sur les iles Marquises voisines de Tahiti, la plupart de ses affaires ayant ete dispersees dans des ventes aux encheres locales. Il a fallu attendre qu’un habile marchand d’art commence a collectionner et a montrer l’?uvre de Gauguin a Paris pour que la profonde influence du peintre se fasse reellement sentir, notamment aupres de la nouvelle generation des artistes francais d’avant-garde, tels que Picasso et Matisse. Cet ouvrage presente un apercu essentiel de l’univers de l’artiste, si riche en couleurs, depuis les Salons impressionnistes parisiens des annees 1870 jusqu’a la fin de sa vie, productive et passionnee, dans le Pacifique.

Gauguin
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was one of the most formidable artists of the late nineteenth century, and one whose work was to have a profound influence on the development of art in the twentieth century. He began as an Impressionist, but went on to develop a more two-dimensional, richly-coloured style in his constant search for a ‘lost paradise’ untouched by nineteenth-century civilization. Gauguin’s romantic and tragic life story is mirrored in the works in this outstanding anthology. Included are 48 full-page colour plates, not only of his best known, beautiful , atmospheric paintings of Tahiti in which Gauguin attempted to reconstruct the perfect life which he had failed to find in reality, but also of many powerful works which reflect the artist’s contact with other early modern masters – Degas, Van Gogh, Cézanne.

Поль Гоген. Paul Gauguin's Intimate Journals
"The journals reveal his sincere desire to advocate for the same exotic "primitives” he simultaneously admired and grossly fetishized.” –Lee Ann Norman, Brooklyn RailUnappreciated in his own lifetime, Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) is now recognized as one of the giants of French postimpressionism and a pioneer of early modernism. A rebel in both art and life, he rejected his bourgeois upbringing and comfortable stockbroker's job to devote his life to painting. Eventually, dismayed by the "hypocrisy of civilization" and in search of a primitive idyll, he left Paris and took up residence in the South Seas, first in Tahiti and, later, in the Marquesas Islands. He would never return to Europe. In the final months of his life, he wrote this witty, revealing autobiographical memoir with the request that it be published upon his death. It first appeared in the original French in 1918, and was translated into English three years later. As his son Émile wrote in the preface, "These journals are an illuminating self-portrait of a unique personality.… They bring sharply into focus for me his goodness, his humor, his insurgent spirit, his clarity of vision, his inordinate hatred of hypocrisy and sham."Wide-ranging and elliptical, these candid reflections reveal Gauguin's thoughts about many subjects, including frank views on his fellow artists back in Paris, his turbulent relationship with Van Gogh and the charms of Polynesian women, while providing glimpses into his often far-from-idyllic life in the islands. This beautiful facsimile reproduces the first American translation of the journals, a rare limited edition privately published in New York in 1921 for a select group of subscribers. With full-page sketches by the artist, these entertaining and enlightening musings give us a unique insight into Gauguin the man and the artist.

Walther Ingo F. Van Gogh
From the early gloom-laden paintings to the works of his final years under a southern sun in Arles "This man will either go insane or leave us all far behind," prophesied the great Impressionist Camille Pissarro. The man was Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), a vicar's son born at Groot-Zundert near Breda in Holland, who at that time was struggling to find buyers for his paintings. Van Gogh did indeed go at least to the brink of insanity. And he has long been recognised as one of the greatest modern artists. Van Gogh, who followed a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man his whole life long. His truest friend was his brother Theo, who supported him unstintingly throughout and followed him to the grave just six months later. This richly illustrated study by two experts on van Gogh follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his home parts, through the bright and colourful paintings he did in Paris, to the work of his final years under a southern sun in Arles, where he at last found the light that produced the unmistakable van Gogh style. At Arles, Saint-Remy and Auvers-sur-Oise, in the feverish burst of creative energy that marked the last two and a half years of his life, he produced the 463 paintings on which his immortality rests. Van Gogh craved recognition during his lifetime but was denied it till after his self-inflicted death. Today he is universally seen as one of the great forerunners of 20th century painting, and one of the tragic masters of art.

Le genie torture d’un maitre du post-impressionnisme Aujourd’hui, les ?uvres de Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) sont parmi les plus connues et les plus celebrees dans le monde. Les Tournesols, La Nuit etoilee ou l’Autoportrait a l’oreille bandee, parmi tant d’autres de ses peintures et dessins, laissent transparaitre la dexterite unique de l’artiste a representer les ambiances et les lieux par la peinture, le crayon, le fusain ou le pastel. Pourtant alors qu’il deployait les couleurs vibrantes en touches expressives et les formes au contour delimite qui allaient faire sa renommee, van Gogh luttait contre le desinteret de ses contemporains, mais aussi contre ses crises de folie. Ses episodes de depression et d’angoisse ont finalement eu raison de lui, puisqu’il se suicida en 1890, peu apres son 37e anniversaire. Cette introduction richement illustree retrace la vie de Vincent van Gogh: ses premieres ?uvres figurant paysans et ouvriers agricoles, sa lumineuse periode parisienne et son dernier sursaut creatif, plein de frenesie, durant les deux dernieres annees de sa vie qu’il passa dans le Sud de la France.

Hodge Susie Gauguin. His Life and Works
This is an expert account of the Post Impressionist artist, Paul Gauguin, who defied convention and renounced European civilization to pursue his art in the South Seas. It explores the influences that defined his style, from Impressionist painters to the brilliant hues and primitive forms of the South Pacific Islands. It features a gallery ranging from his early Impressionist work to his vibrant pictures of a Tahitian idyll. Paul Gauguin was one of the most important artists of the early 20th century. This informative book outlines the artist's personal and working life, his work in France and his paintings of the tropical landscapes of Tahiti and the Caribbean. His mission became to depict an authentic primitivism; a method known as Cloissonism, a technique that was inspired by medieval enamelling: The Yellow Christ is a good example of this style. Another iconic work is Vision after the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel). This beautifully illustrated book is essential reading for those who would like to learn about this artist, and to view his works in one comprehensive collection.

Llosa Mario Vargas The Way to Paradise
The Way to Paradise interweaves the story of the painter Paul Gauguin with that of his grandmother, Flora Tristan. In 1844, Flora embarked on a tour of France to campaign for workers' and women's rights. In 1891, her grandson set sail for Tahiti, determined to escape civilisation and seek out inspiration to paint his primitive masterpieces. Flora died before her grandson was born, but their travels and obsessions unravel side by side in this absorbing novel. A rare study of passion, ambition and the determined pursuit of greatness in the face of illness, death and conservative forces, The Way to Paradise shows Mario Vargas Llosa at the peak of his powers.

Walther Ingo F. Vincent Van Gogh
Anguished art: The tortured talents of a post-Impressionist master. Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are among the most well-known and celebrated in the world. In Sunflowers, The Starry Night, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and many, many paintings and drawings beyond, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal, or chalk. Yet as he was deploying the lurid colors, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms that would subsequently make his name and inspire generations of expressionist artists, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but also devastating bouts of mental illness. His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday. This richly illustrated introduction follows Vincent van Gogh's story from his earliest pictures of peasants and rural workers, through his bright Parisian period, to his final, feverish burst of creative energy in the South of France during the last two and a half years of his life.
