In 1883 Paul Gauguin abandons his prominent

banking career and decides that »from now on

I will pai nt every day«. The co - founder of

Synthetism and trailblazer of Expressionism

turns his back on the bourgeois world, leaves

his wife and children, and, in 1891, sets out for

the South Sea, financing his journey through

the sale of thirty paintings. His thou ghts on art,

his existential worries, his discovery of color

and his search for paradise come to life again

in the excerpts from his letters and statements

compiled in this volume. Together with some

forty color reproductions of his works, his

biography, a nd a preface by an expert, the

book introduces readers in a very special way

to Gauguin's universe.
