The app is based on the book “Paul Gauguin, His Life and Art”. The original work was written by John Gould Fletcher and originally published in 1921.
It presents the life and art of Paul Gauguin (1848–1903). It focuses on the following topics:
Gauguin’s life path: From sailor to successful stockbroker, he left everything behind to try his luck as a painter.
His connection with the Impressionists: He was initially an Impressionist and was a friend of Pissarro and Degas.
His break with Europe: He lived far from civilization in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, where his iconic paintings were created.
His style and influence: He became a defining figure of Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, and his painting had a great influence on modern art.
His controversial personality: He was often a divisive figure in his time, and he died in poverty at the end of his life.
A well-organized, easy-to-use application can be a useful pastime for every reader.
