Video-Paul Gauguin
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903), known simply as Paul Gauguin, was a famous French painter, engraver and sculptor.
Gauguin is a well-known exponent of French post-impressionism and was an artist at the same time as the famous Dutch painter.Vincent van Gogh. He tried to achieve a "primitive" expression of mental and emotional states in his works.
Paul Gauguin was also an important figure in the symbolist art movement of the early 20th century. His use of bold colors, exaggerated body proportions, and striking contrasts in his paintings set him apart from his contemporaries and paved the way for the primitivist art movement.
Gauguin's artistic output was influenced by the cloisonné style, and he was also an influential practitioner of woodcut and woodcut forms of engraving. The artist's notable achievements influenced the French avant-garde and many modern artists such asPablo Picassofrom Henrique Matisse
At the end of his life, he spent ten years in French Polynesia. Paintings from this period depict local figures or landscapes.

Paul Gauguin had a very close relationship with contemporary impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, and they had frequent exchanges for a while.
This work is a portrait created by Gauguin in 1888 at the request of Vincent van Gogh and given to him. The exchange of paintings and the sharing of artistic theory and practice were the means by which these great contemporary artists continued to develop.
2, The Yellow Christ
the yellow christ
"The Yellow Christ" was created in 1889 and was painted in the same way as "Fantasy after the Sermon": it shows three peasant women kneeling in front of the cross on which Christ was crucified. The figure of Christ is rather crudely drawn, and the general physical treatment of this statue shows the characteristics of popular creation.
Gauguin's expression of the dry and somber autumn colors of the landscape focuses on another aspect, namely the yellow tones of the idols and their relationship to the yellow background and the blue tones.

Therefore Gauguin's symbolism is only a means for the painter to indirectly express his inner heart. Scenes from everyday life are just the medium he uses to create decorative rhythms and landscape motifs. And this decorative theme of rhythm and landscape always seems to symbolize the sadness that accompanies religious feelings.
Currently in the collection of Opalett Knox Gallery in Buffalo, USA.
3, when are you getting married?
When will you get married?
"When will you get married?" It was created by Gauguin in 1892. There are two Tahitian women in the painting. The painting uses a tropical landscape as a backdrop. The color style is enthusiastic and daring, but the author lived a lonely and depressed life in his later years.
In a somewhat naive way, with broad shoulders, rounded limbs and dark skin, the artist portrayed the women in the work as if they were timidly observing civilized people in an unknown world of painting.

They have a wary, friendly look and a calm demeanor, but they deliberately keep their distance from you. They are not only completely unpretentious, but also have a natural elegance.
The painting originally belonged to a Swiss collector. It later sold for $300 million in 2015, setting a record for the most expensive art sale.
4, note the spirit of the dead
observe spirit of the dead
The yellow of the sheet in "Spirit Of The Dead Watching" here combines the violet background with the yellow-orange of the human body and the blue bedspread.
What appears before our eyes is a sudden, radiant harmony that feels like the kind of phosphorescent glow that Maori see as wandering spirits.

Unfortunately, as Gauguin followed the principles of symbolism, he introduced the image of ghosts into painting. The nudity in this painting itself is very realistic, the less naturalistic and whimsical the painting is, the more it stands out from symbolic and decorative elements.
5, woman with a flower

"Woman with a Flower", also known as "The Girl from Tahiti", is an 1891 work by Gauguin.
In this painting, a Tahitian woman is dressed in blue and purple clothing, with tanned skin and blue and black hair. The entire piece is orange-yellow on the upper half and red on the lower half, on a light background with scattered green leaves.
Certain structural, proportion, volume and lighting defects in this painting have also become invaluable because they reflect the freshness and vibrancy of the expressive technique and the wildness of the artist's work.

Later, Gauguin also produced beautiful works like this one, but this work is considered the artist's best artistic creation in the same style.
6, Tahitian women

In artistic creation, different post-impressionist painters have different abilities in dealing with the combination of solid forms and flat patterns. Seurat solved this problem by dotting, Cézanne solved it using color models.
In this painting, Gauguin used a fluid frieze for the same purpose, connecting body and surface in a different way.
7, The Sunflower Painter

The relationship between Paul Gauguin and Van Gogh can be partially reflected in the painting The Sunflower Painter.
This work was created in November 1888, Paul Gauguin painted Vincent van Gogh in "The Sunflower Painter". At the time, the couple lived in a yellow house in the city of Arles, in the south of France.
The painter Vincent works in front of the canvas, holding a clipboard in his left hand and a brush in contact with the canvas in his right hand. Gauguin placed the artist at the right edge of the canvas, with his arms extended outside the frame. In front of Van Gogh is the canvas.

As a portrait, it is a testament to the interaction of two post-impressionist painters of a specific period. Later, although Gauguin and Van Gogh's relationship became increasingly strained and they lost contact, Gauguin still loved Van Gogh's Sunflowers series.
And Gauguin's Painter of Sunflowers can be considered a homage to Vincent!
8, Sixth
Siesta
Siesta, an oil poster by Paul Gauguin, c.1893, is a modest depiction of a group of Tahitian women in western dress in the afternoon sun among the cool trees on their porches, talking in the shade.
When it's hot, the women rest on covered porches and shaded pastures. One of them is ironing while the others are doing nothing.
Both were local Tahitian women, but the loose European-style clothes and colorful prints seemed particularly reminiscent of this type of magazine.

9, never again
No more
'Never Again' is an 1897 oil painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during the artist's second stay in Tahiti.
This enigmatic piece depicts a nude Pahura, Gauguin's wife, lying on a bed in their country house, her sensual figure mirroring the curves of the headboard. In the background, behind the bed, there is a crow and two mysterious figures.
The raven's appearance is clearly an echo of Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem "The Raven", which was well known to Gauguin and at his farewell party in 1891. In this poem, the raven utters the word "nevermore" in response to the question of a grieving student.

During the making of this painting, Pahura was mourning the loss of his first child, while Gauguin was mourning the loss of his daughter Irene. The artist himself claimed that the bird represented a "demon bird of the beholder".
It has been in the collection of the Courtauld School of Art since 1932 and is on display in the gallery.
