5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully edited and printed book with glorious color,
By whitears@orrnet.com (M. David Orr) (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gauguin: The Quest for Paradise (Paperback)
Cachin has beautifully edited Gauguin's paintings and "barbaric" wood carvings in a journalistic style with varieties of print sizes wrapped around graphics. Juicy tidbits about the artist flamboyant personal and artistic lives are combined with photos and personal descriptions of Gauguin by comtemporary admirers and detractors. A fresh look at the artist. You'll like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars
great book with an emotional feeling !,
This review is from: Gauguin: The Quest for Paradise (Paperback)
This book,as all the books of this France Company, are absolutely unmissable for all of you who like Paul Gauguin art. The book offer beautiful pictures and many details about Gauguin life that I've never found in any other book talking about the same topic. The only weak point of this chain of books is that the publisher choosed a bad glue for those books thus the cover and a few page jumped out of the book. Apart this annoying problem the books of this chain are simply great ( IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN GLUE) .

This review is from: Gauguin: The Quest for Paradise (Paperback)
Having just traveled to the Society Islands I wanted more info on Paul Gaugin. This book is the best of all I have read on him although it is short and sweet. Beautiful artwork and packed with facts on his life. Has renewed my interest in art!
