Description: Paul Gauguin is considered one of the major French painters of the 19th century, yet his art was sometimes seen as too exotic for some. Indeed, he drew his inspiration from his travels, especially in Polynesia, giving birth to his post-impressionist paintings. Between Paris, Brittany and the Polynesian islands, Gauguin's paintings are a mixture of cultures that distinguish them from all others.
