Paul gauguin is a French post-impressionist painter, sculptor, ceramist and printmaker. Gauguin began painting in 1873 and collected the works of impressionist painters. He owns the works of pissarro, Manet, Renoir, Monet, Sisley and Cezanne. 1876, Gauguin's works were selected for Paris Salon; The following year, he made his first sculpture. Gradually, Gauguin became more and more focused on artistic creation. He participated in the last four impressionist exhibitions.
Gauguin used plane color painting in technique, paying attention to harmony rather than contrast. Fantasy after Preaching is the representative work of this artistic treatment. His painting style is quite different from impressionism. Strong outlines and simplified graphics expressed by subjective colors are all subject to geometric patterns, thus achieving musical, rhythmic and decorative effects. His theory and practice have influenced a large number of painters, and he is known as an artistic innovator who has had an important influence on French painting after Impressionism. [Edit this paragraph] Characters live in paul gauguin. In his early years, he worked on a seagoing ship and later served in the French navy. At the age of 23, he became a stockbroker, made a lot of money, and married a beautiful The Danish Girl Mette Sophia Gard. However, Gauguin resigned from the bank at the age of 35 and devoted himself to painting. At the age of 38, Gauguin broke up with his family, lived a lonely life, and set foot in the impressionist world through pissarro. Gauguin began to paint under the influence of impressionist friends, symbolism, Japanese printmaking and listening to literature. Gauguin always yearns for distant places and misses those exotic places. He called for abandoning the obstacles of modern civilization and classical culture and returning to a simpler and more basic primitive way of life. He was very willing to live a savage life, which led him to embark on a trip to Panama and Martini at the age of 39, where he found what he expected: dense plants, eternal blue sky, generous nature and simple life. Later, I had to leave this tropical paradise and return to France because of something. At this time, I was just 40 years old, energetic and opinionated, retaining the dignity and arrogance of that year. He is a strong personality, annoying and likable, rude and elegant, and he always strongly demands self-expression and proves his value.
1887, he found a paradise environment in Brittany, Panama and Martinique. Clear lines, great sense of volume, blunt contrast color, from then on, he broke with Impressionism. After returning to France, he condemned Monet and pissarro's unique naturalistic illusion and put forward the "synthesis" of artistic expression.
Simplified huge shape, unified single color, separatism, shadowless light, abstract sketch and color, divorced from nature, this is the art discovered and founded by Gauguin. But his fantasy and art have nowhere to go in his own country, so on February 23rd, 189 1, he auctioned 30 works and got a sum of money. On April 4th, he went to Tahiti by boat. After experiencing happiness and pain, he painted many pictures and then returned to France. His Tahiti exhibition was held in June of 1893,1/kloc-0, and the result was a complete failure, with no material income. His novel, mysterious and savage paintings have also won some admirers. The ridicule of civilized people in Paris made him return to Tahiti. In this way, there is a well-known legend that Gauguin took off his civilized clothes and was naked in nature. Illness and the misfortune of losing his daughter at home reminded him of suicide. After being saved, he painted a masterpiece "Where Are We From?" Who are we? Where are we going? After that, he moved to Iva, the capital of Masas Islands, and died on May 8, 1903/kloc-0. [Edit this paragraph] Gauguin is a French post-impressionist painter, sculptor, ceramist and printmaker. Gauguin began painting in 1873 and collected the works of impressionist painters. Gauguin's early paintings are experimental and formal, which reminds people of his works in barbizon school (barbizon school) and his shadow in pissarro. In the early1880s, Gauguin relaxed and broadened the brush strokes, giving the picture a trembling rhythm feature, and the colors were still very formal. He blocks colors and enhances the brightness of colors freely: for example, he paints shadows in bright blue and roofs in red to make them stand out in the background.
1888 In February, he went to Afan Bridge in Brittany and met Bernard. Some of Bona's views were modified and polished by Gauguin, which formed the theoretical basis of the "synthesis theory" movement known today. Bona rejected Courbet's realistic way and advocated expanding the field of impressionism, which is a new exploration direction. Li Bingran and Gauguin are both seeking new expressive force. They advocate that art should have a strong, straightforward and universal symbol, so as to abandon details and characteristics and express the synthesis of impressions, ideas and experiences strongly and intensively through compressed feelings. Gauguin then walked out of the trivial light and shadow of impressionist painters, the intention of fixing a short scene, and the escape from literary metaphors.
1889 He went to Lepudi the next year. When he was in Lepudi, his paintings presented the simplest form, with strong colors and the background simplified to a rhythmic form. This phenomenon can be seen in The Yellow Christ. Gauguin's nostalgia for tropical paradise led him to auction his paintings in Paris in 189 1 to raise money, and arrived in Tahiti in June, where he stayed until 1893. He was fascinated by the beauty and mystery of this place. He is not only reluctant to leave, but also exploring the primitive and undeveloped innocence. He idealized "barbarian" as a person who was guided by instinct and close to nature, and was the source of real creation. At this point, Gauguin no longer uses complementary colors. He began to like to use red and orange, blue and green, purple and dark brown, and indigo as black. Although the color of this painting is darker than his early works, it has become more direct and bold in composition. These works have both mural style and weight.

Gauguin exhibited a completely original painting "Naked Workbook" at the independent painter exhibition in 188 1 year. A critic wrote in an article commenting on this exhibition: "This painting shows the indisputable temperament of a contemporary painter. Of all the contemporary painters who have painted nudes, no one can express life so powerfully ... lifelike ... this whole body, this slightly bulging abdomen hanging on the legs and thighs, is so real. "
Looking at this painting today, we can see that the structure of this image conforms to the concept of light and shade of pissarro Impressionism. However, there are obvious realistic tones (such as human wrinkles and back deformation), and the contrast between light and dark tones is stronger; You can also see a sketch that is not very clever, and there are some incongruities. These unconventional performances, on the one hand, illustrate Gauguin's realistic tendency, but on the other hand, hinder the overall unity. Now talk about color. Naked colors are rose and green, with dark blue shadows; Underwear is pink and sky blue; The interlining on the right side of the human body is green and blue; Hair is blue and black; The wall is purple; The guitar hanging on the wall is black and yellow; Tapestries are yellow, white, blue and red stripes. The texture of guitar and tapestry is perfect; The rest is not very accurate. The colors are bold and strong, but the details are more successful than the whole. In a word, the author of this work is a bold colorist who doesn't think much about adjustment, a sketch artist who lacks confidence in his own scheme, and an artist who has little vitality and is more controversial than inspired.
