About Paul Gauguin
Working at the height of the American Impressionism period, Paul Gauguin produced a body of work that remains foundational to Western art. The recurring themes across the surviving paintings — daily life — show an artist returning to the same questions about the human figure, light, and the moral weight of a scene that American Impressionism painting was uniquely equipped to answer.
Museums now holding Paul Gauguin's work include The Metropolitan Museum of Art. On each painting's page here, we go beyond the caption to cover subject, symbolism, technique, and provenance — the context a modern viewer needs to see what the original audience saw.
