Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was an artist perpetually in search of new horizons. This fascinating visual tour reveals the full extent of Gauguin's travels and their influence on his unique style. Gauguin's several lengthy trips to Tahiti and the Marquesas between 1891 and the artist's death, visits that provided the inspiration for many of his most famous canvases, are well known and documented here in rich detail. Less familiar are stories from his early years living with his family in Peru, which Gauguin would later describe as "idyllic," and his years in the French Navy, which would take him to numerous destinations including India. Throughout the 1880s, as a young man starting a family and struggling to become established within the art world, the restless Gauguin moved often--within Paris, to Rouen, to Copenhagen, and back to Paris. Abundantly illustrated with hundreds of vibrant images, including archival material and the artist's own works, The Gauguin Atlas brings to life the places that Gauguin visited and lived. The book's handsome design seamlessly integrates maps and other images with an accessible and engaging text that narrates Gauguin's travels; what emerges is a vivid picture of an artist continually seeking new experience and inspiration for his art.

Als er iemand een wereldburger was, dan was het de kunstenaar Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Al op eenjarige leeftijd emigreerde hij - met zijn ouders - van Frankrijk naar Peru. Daar beleefde hij een paradijselijke jeugd. Hij zou altijd op zoek blijven naar het paradijs. Tijdens zijn volwassen leven bevoer hij alle wereldzeeën en verbleef hij voor kortere of langere tijd in verschillende delen van Frankrijk, Denemarken, Bretagne, Panama, Martinique, Nieuw-Zeeland, Tahiti en Hiva Oa, het Frans- Polynesische eiland in de Stille Zuidzee. In De grote Gauguin Atlas volgen we Gauguin niet al leen naar al die plekken op de wereldbol waar hij zijn meesterwerken maakte. We gaan ook mee naar de tijd waarin hij leefde. Een tijd waarin het twee maanden duurde om per boot van Marseille naar Tahiti te komen, waarin de Eiffeltoren nog maar net af was en waar het ontzettend lang kon duren tot de maandelijkse postboot het nieuws - en niet te vergeten het geld van verkochte schilderijen - uit Parijs kwam brengen.

A Frenchman in Tahiti After starting a career as a bank broker, Paul Gauguin (born 1848) turned to painting only at age twenty-five. After initial successes within the Impressionist circle, he broke with Vincent van Gogh and subsequently, when private difficulties caused him to become restless, embarked on a peripatetic life, wandering first through Europe and finally, in the search for pristine originality and unadulterated nature, to Tahiti. The paintings created from this time to his death in 1903 brought him posthumous fame. In pictures devoid of any attempt at romantically disguising the life style of the primitive island peoples, Gauguin was able to convey the magical effect that both the landscapes and life of the natives--their body language, charm and beauty--had on him. Wearying of his reputation as a South Sea painter, Gauguin finally determined to return to France, but died of syphilis on the Marquis Islands before his departure.

It is 100 years since Paul Gauguin set sail for Tahiti, a journey that was to change his life and the course of western art. Like other Europeans before him, he travelled to the South Seas possessed with the dream of discovering a primitive paradise untroubled by the adverse effects of civilization. In his 10 years in Tahiti, and later in the Marquesas Islands where he spent his last days, Gauguin felt he had become a "savage", dressing, eating and living like a native, and conducting liaisons with Tahitian women whom he featured in many of his paintings. In "Gauguin's South Seas" , an illustrated biographical introduction tells the story of his tropical sojourns, drawing on his own writings, while the colour plates feature both well-known and less familiar works that convey his unique, idyllic view of the exotic landscapes he treasured.

Die Vereinfachung der Formen und Linien, die Verwendung von reinen Farben, das Verständnis der Farbe als Farbäquivalent des Lichts, die Organisation des Raums durch Gegenüberstellung intensiver Farbflächen, das Recht, ein Werk entsprechend eigener Regeln zu malen, das Recht, sich aktiv mit dem Gesehenen auseinander zu setzen, es zu verändern mit dem Ziel, noch unbekannte Seiten der Wirklichkeit aufzuzeigen, kurz alles das, was am Anfang der neuen Kunst stand, wurde von Gauguin theoretisch klar, bildhaft und logisch begründet und formuliert, auch wenn es noch keine konsequente Verkörperung in seinem Schaffen fand. Das klare Verständnis der schöpferischen Aufgaben, die zu lösen den kommenden Generationen vorbehalten war, gibt uns das Recht, Gauguin als einen der unmittelbaren Vorläufer der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts anzusehen. Unter seinem Einfluss standen zu Beginn des Jahrhunderts, nach der posthumen Ausstellung seiner Werke, auch Picasso und Matisse, zwei Meister, von denen die Kunst unserer Epoche geprägt wurde. Dieser Einfluss ist in einer Reihe von Werken beider Künstler leicht erkennbar. Von besonderer Bedeutung aber ist, dass Gauguin mit seinem Schaffen direkt oder indirekt den Anstoß zur Umdeutung der Grundlagen der modernen Kunst gab.

"In 1894, Paul Gauguin came to the conclusion that European culture in general, and French culture in particular, was spiritually and morally bankrupt. So he left. On the eighth of June that same year, he arrived in Tahiti, an island of tropical warmth, impenetrable jungles, and - most importantly for Gauguin - unspoiled, undecadent, un-European, and extremely beautiful people." "He luxuriated in this paradise for two years, producing some of his most skillful and best-known paintings, as well as a more personal masterpiece: his journal and the woodblocks he made to accompany it. In his Tahiti diary, Gauguin wrote affectionately about the majestic and earthy people he met." "In 1896, he abruptly returned to France, where his journal was declared too racy for publication. Ultimately, he published it himself but was unable to include his powerful woodblock illustrations. In Noa Noa they appear together for the first time, accompanied by the whimsical, brightly colored sketches that Gauguin included in the margins of his journal. This collection of sensuous and intriguing illustrations is a testament to Gauguin's reverence for nature and his respect for the nobility of Tahitian society."--BOOK JACKET.
