Published in conjunction with the exhibition Gauguin: Metamorphoses
at The Museum of Modern Art, this volume explores the remarkable
relationship between Paul Gauguin's rare and extraordinary prints
and transfer drawings, and his better-known paintings and
sculptures in wood and ceramic. Created in several discreet bursts
of activity from 1889 until his death in 1903, these remarkable
works on paper reflect Gauguin's experiments with a range of
mediums, from radically 'primitive' woodcuts that extend from the
sculptural gouging of his carved wood reliefs, to jewel-like
watercolour monotypes and large, mysterious transfer drawings.
Richly illustrated with approximately 190 works in a range of
mediums, Gauguin: Metamorphoses explores the artist's radically
experimental approach to techniques and his pivotal place in the
history of art. An introductory essay by Starr Figura considers the
significance of Gauguin's innovative printmaking and the
relationship between his prints and works in painting and
sculpture. Elizabeth Childs writes on Gauguin's radical wood
sculptures, using them as a touchstone from which to further
investigate his peripatetic practice. An essay by Hal Foster
addresses Gauguin's 'primitivism' and its aesthetic and cultural
implications. An essay by Erika Mosier offers a conservator's
insights into Gauguin's unusual printmaking techniques.
