Great Artists: Gauguin

Description

Great Artists: GAUGIN

Tim Marlow looks at the painter Paul Gauguin, whose life was as colourful and varied as his painting.

Through some of his most famous paintings we explore Gauguin’s extraordinary life as well as his attempt to escape civilisation in an unspoilt Paradise on the other side of the world, where he felt he could create the unique ‘primitive art’ which he advocated.

Tim Marlow takes us on a journey through the great art movement of the late nineteenth-century and explores some of the most beautiful paintings ever created.
