Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin is an artist who lived at the end of the 19th century. This French painter was born in Paris and worked in France, but some of his most important and characteristic works were created while he lived and worked on various exotic islands in the Pacific. At one stage Paul Gauguin lived and worked in Provence with Vincent van Gogh. It was after an argument with him that van Gogh cut off part of his ear. The artist was one of the representatives of post-impressionism - a trend in art which, as usual, broke with the style of the previous era. Instead of works that recreated reality, post-impressionists, including Gauguin, created paintings that were supposed to reflect the artist's temperament and emotional state. Gauguin's paintings on canvas are full of symbols, play of colors and a certain play with form. The combination of exotic motifs with European painting allowed him to create amazing works that are recognizable all over the world. Paul Gauguin's paintings take us to another world, delighting us with their colors and original style.
