French, 1848–1903
Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a French artist who worked as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer. Initially a stockbroker, he began painting in his spare time and later shifted to art full-time after a financial crisis. Largely self-taught, Gauguin was associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements and became known for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style. His later years in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands produced works with vivid colors and spiritual themes, and his art gained greater recognition after his death.
