An incorrigible nonconformist, Paul Gauguin transformed the process of artistic creation and paved the way to the next generations. However, the significance of his work hasn't been genuinely measured before the last decades of the 20th century.

This book offers a synthesis on the life and work of the artist, retracing the career of the autodidact painter become the major artist who contributed to define the orientations of Modern art. His journey, that lead him from Paris to voluntary exile to Oceania, was an answer to his wish to liberate himself of the artistic conventions that dampened his imagination.
Replacing the work in his biographical context, this monograph relies on the last researches and gives a panoramic insight of Gauguin's work by examining in detail a selection of works.
