1848-1903
Paul Gauguin (June 7, 1848 - May 8, 1903) was a French post-Impressionist painter known for his bold use of color and innovative approaches to form. Notable works include "Vision after the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)," "Two Tahitian Women," and "The Loss of Virginity." He left his successful career as a stockbroker in France to pursue painting full-time, ultimately moving to Tahiti in search of inspiration and a simpler way of life, which profoundly influenced his art and style. Gauguin's style is characterized by a focus on symbolism, emotional depth, and the depiction of exotic landscapes and subjects. He contributed significantly to the development of modern art by rejecting naturalism and exploring the emotional and spiritual aspects of his subjects.
