Paul Gauguin – Masterpieces of Art – Rosalind Ormiston

Hardback | 231 x 203 mm | 128 pages

Masterpieces of Art: Gauguin explores the extraordinary artistic journey of Paul Gauguin, from his beginnings in Impressionism in Paris to his bold departure into Symbolism and decorative colour, ultimately shaping a deeply personal visual language inspired by his travels and life in the South Pacific. Briefly collaborating with Vincent van Gogh, Gauguin was profoundly influenced by the “otherness” of Tahiti, where he created his most iconic works depicting luminous landscapes and stylised figures that defined his legacy. Written by arts author Rosalind Ormiston, this compact volume presents accessible text, captions, and full-page high-quality reproductions, celebrating Gauguin’s distinctive place in the history of modern art.
