Watermill in Pont-Aven by Paul Gauguin, 1894

Paul Gauguin is a key French Post-Impressionist artist who worked in Brittany’s Pont-Aven and later with Vincent van Gogh in Arles until he decided to travel to Tahiti in 1891. Art historian Joseph Paul Cassar discusses Gauguin’s unusual childhood in Peru, his many travels with the French Navy, and his time as a successful stockbroker before committing himself to painting.

Focusing on Gauguin’s main masterpieces and his legacy, Cassar also provides a critical analysis of the works by the artist during his first visit to Tahiti and his second and final return in 1895 until his death in 1903.
