Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) is considered one of the most important modern artists to emerge in France in the 19th century. His modernity lies in the denial of a single style in painting and in the diversity of forms and elements he used. Gauguin renewed painting by incorporating references to images of the “other”, outside the European cultural panorama, with landscapes and characters from Tahiti, the island in the Pacific Ocean that is part of French Polynesia . This is the first exhibition to critically address the artist's problematic relationship with this “other” and will be on display until August 8th at MASP.
