Paul Gauguin. Biography. Paintings. History of Creation

Paul Gauguin is one of the outstanding and brightest representatives of Post-Impressionism.
However, Gauguin was not only a painter, but also a sculptor, woodcarver, engraver, critic, and writer. His achievements as an artist—a new understanding of color and its relationship with light, a special attitude towards lines and contours, a desire for maximum simplification while highlighting individual, most vivid details, and work on flat images—had a significant impact on all the art of the 20th century.
