		Gauguin was very appreciative of Bernard's art and of his daring with the employment of a style which suited Gauguin in his quest to express the essence of the objects in his art.
		Paul Gauguin died in 1903 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery (Cimetière Calvaire), Atuona, Hiva ‘Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
		Gauguin influenced many other painters, but one especially notable connection is his imparting to Arthur Frank Mathews the use of an intense color palette.

	Painters at Le Pouldu, 1889-90
		Gauguin's portrait of de Haan (circa 1889-90) in the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum, inscribed "Nirvana," shows the redheaded Dutchman with a demonic, mask-like face with pointed eyes, ears, and beard, and holding a coiled golden snake which forms the G of the painter's signature.
		Gauguin's father, Clovis, a liberal journalist, was forced into exile and died on shipboard en route to Peru with his wife, their daughter, and the two-year-old Paul.
		Gauguin and de Haan, joined later at times by Paul Sérusier and Charles Filiger, found their chief lodging in Le Pouldu at the inn called the Buvette de la Plage, which was owned by the young Marie Henry.

	Noa Noa, Paul Gaugin's Fragrant Land
		Gauguin stayed only briefly in the European colony at Papeete; he soon moved out into the countryside, where he began to sketch both the people and the countryside.
		Gauguin knew that he had little time to lose in getting what he wanted on canvas; his funds were limited, and he needed to contribute to the support of his children back in Europe.
		Gauguin died on the island of Hiva Oa on May 8, 1903, after a long period of illness, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery there.

	NCAW Spring 06 \| Aimee Brown Price reviews Gauguin's Vision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Gauguin was thus shown to be far from alone in his attraction to Breton religiosity, customs, and apparel as a subject for his images—and it is against the work of other artists that his own idiosyncratic imagery is to be measured.
		Gauguin was to be demonstrably beholden to Puvis's pictorial simplifications and compositions; in Puvis's composition onlookers gaze wonderingly at the pious girl much as Gauguin has the viewer witness the praying peasants in his Vision.
		In the catalogue, Gauguin was at the outset situated in his aesthetic circumstances and ambitions: the artists he knew, admired, collected, or compared himself to by the 1880s—(not yet to their disadvantage as his competitive strain would later notoriously prompt)—Pissarro, Cézanne (he had six paintings by him), Degas, Monet—and the theories of the time.

	Lingua Romana: Volume 1. Issue 1. Review of Writing Marginality in Modern French Literature
		The interdependence of the center and periphery in French cultural history is a matter fraught with ambivalence.
		Gauguin also exposes the tensions of European cultural self-doubt and utilizes the exotic as a source of European rejuvenation.
		The impossibility of cultural migration is borne out by Gauguin's paintings in which the civilized and the savage stand in stark juxtaposition.

	WNYC - Reading Room: Paul Gauguin: An Erotic Life
		Gauguin was born to a family with a history of sexual violence and piquant cruelty.
		For generations the Gauguins and their neighbors had raised produce and flowers, which were exported by river and by road (and later railroad) to Paris, about one hundred miles to the north.
		As Paul and Marie grew up, they had their carefully tended garden to play in, and, in the summer, could race around in their rowboats and try their luck in the many fishing holes formed in the shifting recesses of the islands.

		Born Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin in Paris, he descended from Spanish settlers in South America and the viceroy of Peru, and spent his early childhood in Lima.
		In such works, Gauguin paid little attention to classical perspective and boldly eliminated subtle gradations of colour, i.e., two most characteristic principles of post-Renaissance painting were dispensed with.
		In 1891, Gauguin, frustrated by lack of recognition at home and financially destitute, sailed to the Tropics to escape European civilization and "everything that is artificial and conventional".

		We boarded the Paul Gauguin in Papeete and sailed after a spectacular sunset turned the sky into a cauldron of reds and orange.
		The shore excursions here, as on the other islands, were limited, and focused on the natural wonders of the island and sea: snorkeling, parasailing, a glass bottom boat tour, a visit to a fl pearl farm, scuba diving or a tender to the beach.
		The Paul Gauguin did have a small casino, though local laws prevented the ship from opening up the slot machines, and the nightly entertainment was low-key-- a magician or a musical show lead by the cruise director.

		Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin are universally regarded as the three masters of Post-Impressionism, each in his own grandiose style and expression.
		Gauguin was a civilized primitive, or a wild European, longing for an escape to the garden of Eden, "a escape to the woods of an island in the South Seas, (to) live there in ecstasy, calm, and art." An intellectual primitive, Gauguin painted with instinct as well as theory.
		They are pulled together by the strong red color of the pyramid shape in the center of the painting, which is originally the extension of Dr. Gachet's table on which he rests his right elbow and left hand.
