The Gauguin Dilemma

1: Drawing the line


Listen Later

Paul Gauguin broke the rules about colour and line. But the details of his personal life are deeply controversial. By today’s standards, Gauguin’s relationships with his Polynesian muses would be criminal. But is it fair to judge history by today’s standards? Or should we judge him by the mark he left on the islands he visited? 


Featuring: screenwriter and author Maria Lewis | Prof. Elizabeth C. Childs | founder of Girl Museum Ashley Remer
