Gauguin: Brittany to Tahiti

The Merryfold Art Library

From Pont-Aven to Polynesia, with the flat colour fields and heavy contours that came out of the Breton years carried into the Tahitian paintings. Fifty-eight plates with full museum credits. The commentary does not skip the difficulty: these are paintings made by a European man about people he had power over, and the notes say so while still looking closely at how they are built.
