| Gauguin was born in
Paris on June 7, 1848, into a liberal middle-class family. After an
adventurous early life, including a four-year stay in Peru with his
family and a stint in the French
merchant marine, he became a successful Parisian stockbroker, settling
into a comfortable bourgeois existence with his wife and five children.
In 1874, after meeting the artist
Camille Pissarro and viewing the first Impressionist exhibition, he
became a collector and amateur painter. He exhibited with the
Impressionists in 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, and 1886. In 1883 he gave up
his secure existence to devote himself to painting; his wife and
children, without adequate subsistence, were forced to return to her
family. From 1886 to 1891 Gauguin lived mainly in rural Brittany (except
for a trip to Panama and Martinique from 1887 to 1888), where he was the
centre of a small group of experimental painters known as the School of
Pont-Aven. Under the influence of the painter Émile Bernard, Gauguin
turned away from Impressionism and adopted a less naturalistic style,
which he called Synthetism. He found his inspiration in the art of
indigenous peoples, in medieval stained glass, and in Japanese prints;
he was introduced to Japanese prints by
Vincent van Gogh when they spent two months together in Arles, in
the South of France, in 1888. Gauguin's new style was characterized by
the use of large flat areas of non-naturalistic colour, as in The
Yellow Christ (1889, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York
State). |
