Gauguin embarked on his artistic journey as an Impressionist in the vibrant city of Paris, yet his thirst for a broader perspective led him to explore the realm of decorative art and vibrant hues. This exploration resulted in what some have termed Symbolism, a unique artistic style characterized by its departure from traditional forms. While he briefly collaborated with Van Gogh, Gauguin was deeply captivated by the "otherness" of the South Pacific, a region he frequented extensively. Eventually, he chose to distance himself from his origins and early influences, seeking to forge a distinctive and profoundly personal body of work.

The latest edition of this exquisite new book takes readers on a captivating journey through the picturesque scenes of Tahiti. The sun-kissed bodies, the captivating shapes, and the vibrant styles of the South Pacific have etched Gauguin into the annals of art history, securing him a singular and revered place. This captivating book celebrates the essence of Gauguin's artistic vision, offering a glimpse into the world he created and the profound impact it has had on the art world.
