Abstract

The article discusses the Gauguin exhibition at Tate Modern, highlighting its significance as a major art event in London. Gauguin is credited with pioneering the return to primitivism in art, traveling to distant places to experience "primitive" cultures firsthand. The exhibition showcases Gauguin's eclectic style, borrowing from multiple cultural sources and incorporating Christian imagery. It also explores Gauguin's ambition to create a fully coherent creative personality and his desire to transcend the boundaries of the human. The article acknowledges the manipulation of Gauguin's reputation and the myth that surrounded his life and career. [Extracted from the article]
