In 1891, Paul Gauguin (1848 1903) arrives on the French Polynesian
island of Tahiti. In this lush paradise, he is liberated from the
concerns of the city-dwelling European. He is free: to love, to
sing, and to create. In Copenhagen, Gauguin's wife enjoys no such
freedom. She would rather forget her odious husband and his
degenerate artwork. Instead, in a city resistant to the
avant-garde, she is tasked with selling a collection of his
extravagantly priced Tahitian paintings. When they finally go on
sale in Paris, shortly after Gauguin's return sales are
catastrophic. For Monet, Renoir, and the rest of the old guard,
nothing indicates that these bizarre, visionary works are of any
lasting significance. Gauguin: The Other World is a revelatory
biography of an artist whose qualities as a man won him few
admirers in his own lifetime, but whose talents as a painter would
have an enormous influence on the art of Picasso, Matisse, and many
more.
