Paul Gauguin
French, 1848
Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a pioneering French Post-Impressionist painter known for his bold use of color, symbolic imagery, and innovative style. Rejecting traditional European conventions, Gauguin sought inspiration in exotic locations like Tahiti, where he created vivid, emotionally charged works that blend primitivism with modernism. His art deeply influenced the course of modern art, bridging Impressionism and the avant-garde movements that followed.
