This first comprehensive research guide and annotated bibliography
of Paul Gauguin includes information on more than 1500 books and
articles on the artist as well as a comprehensive chronology and
list of exhibitions. The secondary bibliography is arranged by
topics and includes citations on the artist's life and career, his
relationships with contemporary artists in France, including
Vincent van Gogh, his life and work in Panama, Martinique, Tahiti,
and the Marquesas Islands, his oeuvre in general and in various
media, self-portraits, iconography, and more. The French artist
Paul Gauguin continues to be a larger-than-life figure whose
mystique exerts its spell on popular, critical, and scholarly
minds. Consequently, the available literature on the artist is
copious and marked by diversity of opinion on every aspect of his
life and work. From the first book-length biography of Gauguin
written by Louis Brouillon in 1906, interest in Gauguin has
continued unabated and, since 1959, critical interest in the
artist's drawings, prints, sculptures, and art works in other media
has dramatically increased. Russell T. Clement has compiled the
first comprehensive research guide and annotated bibliography on
Gauguin. This volume encompasses primary materials by Gauguin
including those published during the artist's lifetime and those
published posthumously; contemporary accounts and criticism of
Gauguin's life and work published through 1906; descriptions of the
artist's oeuvre; a lengthy secondary bibliography; and a section
that catalogs exhibitions of Gauguin's work between 1884 and 1989.
While concentrating on printed materials, this guide also includes
selected manuscripts--in all, more than 1500 books and articles are
cited. For entries where titles give incomplete or unclear
information about works and their content, the author provides
brief annotations. Following a biographical sketch and chronology,
the primary bibliography lists articles, essays, letters,
manuscripts, and sketch books of Gauguin and then accounts and
critiques of Gauguin's life and work published through 1906. The
main part of the bibliography and research guide, the secondary
bibliography, lists monographs, catalogues, dissertations, theses,
periodical literature, films, sound recordings and musical scores,
and selected newspaper articles. Substantial book reviews and
exhibition reviews are also included. Arranged by topic, the
secondary bibliography also includes citations on Gauguin's
relationships with contemporary artists in France, his work in
Panama and Martinique, his work and life in Tahiti and the
Marquesas Islands, and his oeuvre in general. Not just a list of
sources but a complete research guide, this volume deserves a place
in every research library collection.
