A vital, myth-busting re-examination of the trailblazing and controversial post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This first full biography in over thirty years, written by the award-winning author of I Am Dynamite!, illuminates the people, places, and ideas that shaped Gauguin's vision. It delves into his life as a Parisian stockbroker, a canal digger in Panama, and his ceaseless attraction to the exotic. Drawing from a wealth of new material, the book conjures his visual exuberance, his creative epiphanies, and his flaws with acuity and sensitivity, inviting the reader to see Gauguin anew.
