This abstract is dedicated to the 19th century French painter, graphic artist and sculptor - ceramicist.
#A painter decided to live according to the laws of primitive man on Taita. As a successful stockbroker in Paris, he gave up everything, including his family, to devote himself to painting surrounded by a simple life with the natives.
Gauguin often quarreled with his friends when he lived in France. It is believed that it was he who cut off a piece of Van Gogh's ear with a sword during a drunken quarrel.
Paul Gauguin worked to develop a style of painting called "Cloisonnism". Adherents of this method outline the figures on the canvas in dark colors and then fill the "sectors" with rich colors. The colors are almost unmixed and clearly separated by contours. Also in the paintings of Gauguin almost no shadows. Characters of paintings, as if they are themselves colored shadows.
