Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. By providing this book as an eReader book, we are preserving an old book of historical value for future generations.
Eugene Henri Paul Gauguin was a French stockbroker who painted as a hobby. He was associated with Pissarro and Cezanne and in 1883, Gauguin began to devote himself to painting. He developed the synthetism style, and emphasized the conceptual method of representation, while using pure color and bold lines. While in his studios in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, he sent back wonderfully colorful and brilliant canvases. To this day, Gauguin is considered the foremost post-Impressionist French painter.
