Paul Gauguin—The Greatest Painters of the World
Description
Paul Gauguin is a Post-Impressionist painter, thought to be one of the most important French painters of the 19th century. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinctly different from Impressionism. His experiments with color had a strong influence on the evolution of painting. Later in life, he moved to Tahiti, and his work reflects this new tropical landscape and culture. The essential character of his art did not change, but he developed new levels of expression in his use of color and perspective, and his forms became more voluminous.
