*Gorgeously illustrated with 70 colour images*You wish to teach me
what is within myself: learn first what is within you . . .I
believe life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at
least to the limit of one's will. Paul Gauguin is chiefly known as
the giant of post-Impressionist painting whose bold colours and
compositions rocked the Western art world. It is less well known
that he was a stockbroker in Paris and that after the 1882
financial crash he struggled to sustain his artistry, and worked as
a tarpaulin salesman in Copenhagen, a canal digger in Panama City,
and a journalist exposing the injustices of French colonial rule in
Tahiti.In Wild Thing, the award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux
re-examines the adventurous and complicated life of the artist. She
illuminates the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision:
his privileged upbringing in Peru and rebellious youth in France,
the galvanising energy of the Paris art scene, meeting Mette, the
woman who he would marry, formative encounters with Vincent van
Gogh and August Strindberg, and the ceaseless draw of French
Polynesia. Prideaux conjures Gauguin's visual exuberance, his
creative epiphanies, his fierce words and his flaws with acuity and
sensitivity.Drawing from a wealth of new material and access to the
artist's family, this myth-busting work invites us to see Gauguin
anew.
