"Paul Gauguin: The Primitive Sage" by Ingo F. Walther provides a detailed look at the life and work of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), a prominent French post-Impressionist painter and printmaker. Gauguin was a forerunner of Symbolism, known for his unique style that combined European techniques with influences from primitive art.
The book explores Gauguin's life journey, from his early years and career as a stockbroker to his decision to leave his family and the security of bourgeois life to devote himself to art. Special emphasis is placed on his stay in Tahiti, where he created some of his most famous works, inspired by the local culture and nature. The author analyzes how Gauguin's search for the "primitive" influenced his style and philosophy of art.
The book also discusses Gauguin's relationship with other artists, such as Vincent van Gogh, and his influence on later art movements. Through a wealth of illustrations and detailed analysis, "The Primitive Sage" provides a comprehensive account of an artist who shaped the course of modern art with his innovative approach.
