Art: Paul Gauguin, the rebel at the end of the world

4 minutes

🖼 Well known for his lifestyle and his rebel behavior (both in life and in art), Paul Gauguin sailed away from Europe, leaving five children behind, to start a new life in Tahiti. Did it make his art more interesting? Could he have been the painter we still recognize to this day if we could separate the man from the art? Find out more about this controversial figure in this week’s episode.
