“Painted in late summer of 1888, Paul Gauguin’s Pêcheur et baigneurs sur l’Aven depicts a fisherman and several intrepid bathers on the shallow banks of the River Aven in Brittany. The human figures in the scene are utterly dwarfed by the colorful landscape that surrounds them…This vivid, evocative painterly landscape represents a crucial turning point…

Paul Gauguin: Les Lavandières à Arles II
“Washerwomen in Arles was painted during Gauguin’s sojourn in the French town of Arles, where he had gone to work in the last quarter of 1888, summoned by Van Gogh, who was trying to assemble an artistic group… Outstanding features of this painting are the abstraction of its backgrounds, the impression of movement and photographic…
Paul Gauguin: The White Horse
“Gauguin painted this famous picture during his second stay in Tahiti. He liked to roam through the countryside and explore the mountains and forests of the interior. These out-of-the-way places swarmed with all sorts of wildlife and plants which enchanted him.But this scene is not taken from real life; it is an imaginary, synthetic vision…
Schubert: String Trio in B-Major, D 471
“Gauguin’s lush Bouquets et céramique sur une commode evidences the sensual delights which were of central concern to the artist throughout his career. Gauguin took joy in depicting the natural world and its raw, unspoilt beauty. Like Barbizon and Impressionist painters before him, he was attracted to pastoral themes and everyday motifs as an emblem of a…
Paul Gauguin: Melancholic (1891)
“Disillusioned with modern society, Paul Gauguin left France for Tahiti in 1891 in search of an earthly paradise that he imagined was untouched by civilization. Upon arriving, he realized that colonialism had all but eradicated traditional Tahitian culture. Here, a Tahitian woman wears a Western-style dress and gold marriage band introduced by Catholic missionaries. In…
Paul Gauguin: Autumn in Brittany
“Fleeing what he felt was the overly civilized and decadent environment of Paris, Paul Gauguin lived periodically in the remote and rugged Brittany region of northwestern France. In works such as this, he sought to convey traditional village life, which he considered an antidote to the ills of modern society. Unlike the Impressionists, Gauguin did…
Vivaldi: Concerti con molti strumenti (E. Galante and F. Biondi)
“In its final form, the painting is a private palimpsest of the various phases of Gauguin’s evolution as a painter, documenting—to paraphrase the title of the artist’s later Tahitian masterpiece—where he had come from (“d’où venons nous”), who he was (“que sommes nous”), and where he was going (“où allons nous”). “Tracing the trajectory of…

Paul Gauguin: Nature morte avec pivoines de chine et mandoline (1885)
“The dominant blue palette in Nature morte avec pivoines de chine et mandoline is exceptional not only for its brilliance and rarity within Gauguin’s oeuvre but also for its evocative symbolism within art history. Often connoting the numinous and the divine, the color blue and its spiritual significance would not have been lost on the…
Why Is Paul Gauguin So Controversial?
“Was Van Gogh really painting a vase of sunflowers when his friend Gauguin produced this portrait of him? No, he can’t have been: it was December and far too late in the year for sunflowers. But it’s quite probable that Van Gogh painted a copy of one of his own sunflower pictures around this time….
