Narrator Paul Gauguins life was the stuff of romantic fiction a tale as exotic and astonishing as his paintings. Born in france, he was raised in peru. A sailor in his teens, a stockbroker in his twenties, by the age of 35 he was a married father of four and a colltor of paintings he bought wo from Edouard Manet and the impressionists Camille Pissarro and edgar degas. And then, a plot twist. In 1882, seid by the desire to create rather than collect art, he cast it all away. Rejecting the fetters of bourgeois society, he began a search for artistic purity that would last r the rest of his life. He scoured the most remote areas of france and its colonies for subjects, restlessly scraping away the veneer of civilization to search for deeper truths and redefine the course of painting. And he died in poverty only to be widely recognized as a genius later generatis. But gauguiwas more than a character in his story. He was the creator of paul gauguin, the visionary artist and mythmaker. From
