Few artists have pursued the vision of a life dedicated to art with the passion that Gauguin did. His art was a reflection of two worlds between which he lived. On one hand, his work captured his detested contemporary culture, while on the other, it offered an alternative, primitive way of life, highlighting its natural harmony.
But it was not enough for him to merely depict this world. He wanted to experience it firsthand. He sought to prove that the exoticism of the South Seas was not just the magical refuge that captivated his contemporary Europeans during a time of world exhibitions but also a period of rapid developments in the fields of media and communication.
Gauguin emerged as one of the most genuine pioneers of modernism, as his work heralded a dominant feature of 20th-century art: the conjunction of life and artistic creation, imagination and methodical approach.
