Author: CHRISTOPH BECKER
Title: Paul Gauguin: Tahiti
Description: Verlag Gerd Hatje, 1998. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 181. Now counted quite rightly among the most famous paintings of the 20th century, the extraordinary works completed by Gauguin during his first sojourn in Tahiti make it very clear why he is regarded, along with Cezanne and van Gogh, as one of the founding fathers of modern art. The present volume illuminates an approach, from the vantage point of the artist's experience in Tahiti, to an understanding of the epochal turning point in the development of Gauguin's oeuvre that would leave an indelible imprint on the history of modern art. The introductory essays written from the perspective of art history and ethnology provide a richly faceted and highly complex picture in which both the artist-legend Gauguin and the cliche of the exotic world as seen in his painting are thoroughly examined. The texts are accompanied by illustrations of 50 of Gauguin's most important paintings as well as many of his best-known sculptures, water-colours, drawings and prints. ISBN: 3775707441. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
