Paul (Eugéne-Henri) Gauguin was born on June 7, 1848 in Paris, but grew up in Lima as the son of a French Journalist and a Peruvian mother. Gauguin is considered one of the leading painters of the Postimpressionist period. His painting also marked the start of a new style in painting that became kown as Symbolism. His striking images of Polynesian women rank among the most beautiful paintings of the modern age. In 1904, Gauguin, dissipated by drug-addiction, died of syphilis. |
