What does Gauguin's works tend to be? Primitive style. Its color and lines are rough. Gauguin's works are often full of symbolic objects and characters. In addition, he is also a well-known artist who combined the original artistic style with Impressionism. In the history of modern art, people often compare Gauguin with Van Gogh. They used to be good friends and painted portraits of each other, but in the end they stopped at different roads and did not maintain good friendship. Gauguin dislikes urban civilization and yearns for wild life, which can be seen in his works.
