Eugène-Henri Paul Gauguin - Post Impressionist Synthetist
Gauguin was born in Paris, France. His father was a radical republican journalist, his mother a Peruvian writer. The family was forced into exile by his father’s political activities and they sailed for Peru. But the journey was too hard for Gauguin’s father, who died before reaching their destination. His widow and two small children were left to fend for themselves in Lima, where they remained for four years.
At the age of 17, Gauguin joined the merchant navy and sailed around the world for the six years. After the death of his mother, he settled down in Paris and became a successful stockbroker. He married a Danish lady in 1873 and had five children. But Gauguin’s true calling was to painting. The first Impressionist exhibition was a turning point and he began to paint in his spare time. He even purchased works by several leading Impressionist painters. From now on painting would be the driving force of his life, for better or for worse.
Returning to Spain after a year, Gauguin started painting decorative, rococo frescoes for local churches. He studied with Francisco Bayeu, a local artist, who helped him find work designing patterns in the Royal Tapestry Workshop where he stayed for 17 years, producing over 60 designs.
His friend Camille Pisarro introduced him to the Impressionists. He painted with Pisarro and Cezanne, but it did not take long for Gauguin to take his work in the direction of primitive and Japanese art. But Gauguin was before his time. His style of painting was rejected, marking the beginning of his bitterness and frustration with a world that would not accept his artistic vision.
The stock market crash of 1883 caused Gauguin to lose his income. He travelled around living on next to nothing, and the family moved temporarily to Copenhagen around 1884. Unsuccessful in Denmark, he moved back to Paris barely a year later, abandoning his wife and five children. He had made the first break with conventional middle-class life and was now free to devote himself entirely to painting.
Gauguin’s distaste for Western civilization was growing and in 1887 he set sail for Panama where he found work as a laborer on the canal, but was fired after only two weeks. His search for simplicity took him to Martinique, but since he could not make a living as an artist there, he went to Pont-Aven in Brittany in 1888.
By now Gauguin had moved away from Impressionism; the Japanese influence was dominant. His painting The Yellow Christ, with its large, flat areas of bold color marked his final break with the movement and was the start of a style that was to influence future generations of artists. Van Gogh’s brother, Theo, encouraged him in this direction.
Gauguin joined his friend Vincent van Gogh in Arles, where the two artists painted together for around two months. But their personalities clashed. They quarreled. It ended with van Gogh cutting off his ear and suffering a mental breakdown. Traumatized, Gauguin left abruptly for Paris.
