This vibrant examination of Paul Gauguin's life and work features
more than fifty pieces from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek collection
in Copenhagen, including paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics
along with Oceanic art and Gauguin's works on paper from the Fine
Arts Museums of San Francisco's permanent collections. Each piece
is reproduced in exquisite detail, offering a superb opportunity to
enjoy Gauguin's groundbreaking use of color, line, and form. Essays
examine Gauguin's relationships and reveal the struggles,
indulgences, awakenings, and betrayals of his personal and
professional life. Other essays provide new insights into Gauguin's
travels to the far reaches of the French colonial empire in the
Pacific and explore his cultural identity, sexuality, and
spirituality. Beautifully designed to complement Gauguin's
extraordinary oeuvre, this book offers a refreshing take on an
artist whose life and work continue to fascinate to the present
day.

The book is edited by Cornelia Homburg and Christopher Riopelle and
is being published to coincide with the exhibition of the same
title to be held at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (May
24 - September 8, 2019), and at the National Gallery in London
(October 7, 2019 - January 26, 2020). The exhibition will display
some sixty works by Gauguin - paintings, works on paper, and
three-dimensional objects made of various materials - from public
and private collections throughout the world. It is the aim of
Gauguin. Portraits to fill this gap in the scholarly examination of
one of the leading figures in Post-Impressionism. There is much to
discover about the attributes he endowed his models with and the
evocative settings he chose for them, highly charged as these props
were with symbolic meanings. This book, which is intended as a
standard text in this specific field, includes essays written by an
array of experts in Gauguin's work, all established scholars and
young researchers. University and museum specialists combine their
talents to explore in-depth the many aspects of the artist's
portraits, often in the light of the remarks he made about his
models. The authors focus in particular on the importance and
different meanings portraits had for Gauguin in his oeuvre. Text in
French.
