Gauguin is a classic vintage art monograph celebrating the life and revolutionary works of post-Impressionist master Paul Gauguin. The cover features a cream-colored border framing a full-color tipped-in plate of Gauguin's iconic Tahitian masterpiece Two Tahitian Women (Te Nave Nave Fenua or The Seed of the Areoi), showing two women holding fruit against a lush tropical background, anchored by the artist's facsimile signature in golden script at the bottom. The volume offers a comprehensive critical exploration of Gauguin's pioneering use of symbolic color, primitive motifs, and exotic imagery.
