Gauguin Portraits. The first in-depth investigation of Gauguin?s portraits, revealing how the artist expanded the possibilities of the genre in new and exciting ways

Paul Gauguin (1848?1903) broke with accepted conventions and challenged audiences to expand their understanding of visual expression. Nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in his portraits, a genre he remained engaged with throughout all phases of his career. Bringing together more than 60 of Gauguin?s portraits in a wide variety of media that includes painting, works on paper, and sculpture, this handsomely illustrated volume is the first focused investigation of the multifaceted ways the artist approached the subject.
