" Paul Gauguin was born in 1848 and died in 1903. "He lived his ideas to the point at which they destroyed him. In so doing, he lived a legendary life. He was perseverance personified." The author, a leading British art critic and historian, points out that Gauguin "brought about, almost single-handed, the renewal of painting." His fascinating life is well told in the author's commentary (with black-and-white photographs and reproductions of art). The book contains 32 color reproductions, not only of Gauguin's South Seas paintings, but also from his French portfolio." ; Drawings; 16mo 6" - 7" tall. Good+ with no dust jacket .
