Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848 – 1903) French Post-Impressionist artist. A painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer. He was unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Toward the end of his life, he spent ten years in French Polynesia. His paintings from this time depict people or landscapes from that region.
