Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Filled with more than 60 beautiful color reproductions and 20 black-and-white photographs, this well-documented book wasoriginally published to accompany an exhibition at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart in Germany. Editor Becker, curator of 19th-century painting and sculpture at the museum, has compiled four topical essays, written in a matter-of-fact style, which are complemented by a biography, a bibliography, and a catalog of works. Becker's own 85-page "Gauguin and Tahiti" is followed by writings on the artist's prints, his life before moving to the South Pacific, and "ethnological considerations." Gauguin produced some 800 works, so this publication is by no means a complete catalog. However, by concentrating on the most storied years of his life, the book becomes an excellent starting point for those interested in the vibrant world of Gauguin.?Jennifer L.S.
