gauguin 1848-1903

Paul Gauguin,a contemporary of Vincent van gogh,was a painter belonging to the Impressionist school of Art.He was deeply inspired by the works of Giotto,Raphel and Ingress,artists of an earlier age.
Gauguin,an exceptionally talented artist,was thoroughly disillusioned with the prevailing European culture,and escaped to Tahiti,an island in the Pacific,where the local people lived an uncomplicated life and needs were few.The islanders were used to living bare-bodied and in simple hutments made of locally available materials.
Gauguin,a passionate person,lived a life of indulgence and sensual gratification but produced excellent paintings portraying the innocence and beauty of the people.
