MARQUESAS 1903. ~V Tærværende utstilling er en sjelden anledning til å se så meget av Gauguins kunst samlet. 1 Paris er der muligens spredte ting at se i vanske­ lig tilgjængelige privatsamlinger, men Gauguin er ikke representert i Louvre og meget beskedent i Luxembourg. En del av hans mest kjendte billeder lindes i tyske samlinger, men de fleste er havnet i Rusland. Selvsagt gir ikke et så tilfeldig utvalg som det her foreliggende den rette forestilling om Gauguins vidtomspændende begavelse. Han var foruten å være maler også en fremtrædende grafiker, skulptør i tre og keramiker. Men utstillingens 76 nummere fra de forskjellige perioder av hans liv gir allikevel en anelse om den store og eiendommelige kunstner det merkelige menneske — Paul Gauguin. «L’æuvre d'un homme, C'est FexpliCation de eet homme» sier han selv. Sikkert er det at man gjen- nem det lille utvalg av hans arbeider føler sig inn i en tragisk og mCrkelig skjebne. Et motsetningsrikt temperament, en rik fantasi forenet med en klar reflekterende intelligens. En steil og stolt natur som 4 måtte gå sin egen vei, koste hvad det koste vilde. — Det kostet tilslut alt — helbred, økonomisk be­ tryggelse, venner, hjem og barn. Der hviler en dyster tragik over hans død i ensomhet og upåagtethet på Marquesas — utarmet, nedbrutt, forlatt og ulykkelig tilsinds uten den vir­ kelige anerkjendelse han higet efter. Gauguin er føtt i 1848, revolusjonsåret, og selv blev han en rebel både i sitt liv og i sin kunst. Hans liv blandt de innfødte på Tahiti var ikke bare en kunstnerisk søken, men også en protest mot det siviliserte samfunds fordomme og hykleri. Hans forsvar for maorierne mot de franske embedsmenn og missionærer var et samlet menneske- og kunst- nersinns oprør mot den rase og det samfund han tilhørte. Hans kunst står i rakt motsetningsforhold til samtidens. Endnu før impressjonismen hadde nådd den fulle anerkjennelse, reagerte Gauguin mot objek­ tets og teknikkens prevalens i maleriet, idet han hævdet det subjektive syn, hvor objektet (naturen) bare er et påskudd til å gi uttryk for kunstnerens personlighet, mens teknikken må være den under­ ordnede villige tjener for hver ny tanke. Tvertimot den gjældende opfatning, båret av så geniale mestre som hans store samtidige Degas, Manet, Cézanne m. fl. hvis kunst han beundret, kjemper han for sin egen idé, bryter vei for sit eget personlige uttryk — individualist som han er. Pissaro, impressjonistenes senior f. i 838 ledet Gauguins første forsøk som amatørmaler, dengang han som fondsChef i Berlins bankfirma syslet med pensel og palet i sin fritid. Flere av utstillingens billeder er fra denne tid (se kat, nr. 24, 64 o. fl.). «Den nakne syerske på sengkanten» kat. nr. 2 synes å ha været avgiørende for hans skjebne. 1 allfald er det efter dette billedes utstilling på salon des Indépendents 1881 at han bryter ut av sitt borgerlige liv og biir maler. Der går nogen år inden han finder sin person­ lige form. Til å begynne med er han sterkt optatt av impressjonistenes farvedekomponerende teknikk, kat. nr. 6. Men allerede i 88—89 efter opholdet i Bretagne og på Martinique aner man et gjennem- brudd, en enklere og klarere form henimot det deko­ rative, som i landskapene kat. nr, 11 , 56, 65, j 7> o.fl. hvor Gauguins typiske kolorit avstemt på gvdt, orange og blått gjør sig gjeldende. Men det er først under hans Tahitiophold i 10- året 1891 —1901, avbrutt av et kortere ophold i Frankrike i 94, at hans talents egenart helt ut- lolder sig. H er skaper han de verker som med sin storladne dekorative holdning og sit linjespils melo­ diske ynde gir mesteren rang blandt århundredets store som en av de banebrytende inden moderne maleri. 1 Tahitis eventyrskjønne natur blandt primitive mennesker av en edel rase finder han den enkle. rene kunstneriske form han søker. Endelig kan han begynne på bar bunn, uhindret av kunstneriske dog­ mer. Fjernt fra det græske skjønhetsideal, som han mente behersket al europeisk kunst, skaper han sig et nytt av en egen barbarisk ynde, inspirert av de slanke smidige maoripiker, hvis brungyldne lege­ mer står så dristig mot de dype blå og grønne toner i Gauguins Tahltilandskaper. Om utstillingens store dekorative komposisjon D ’ou venons nous qui sommes nous, ou allons nous (kat. nr. 67) — mesterens hovedverk — skriver Gau­ guin til sin ven Daniel de Monfreid i 98 « . Jeg tror imidlertid at dette billede ikke blot i verdi overgår alle tidligere, men endog at jeg aldri kom­ mer til å gjøre hverken bedre eller lignende. Jeg har i det — før jeg døde — villet legge hele min energi — en slik smertelig lidenskap 1 fryktelige omstendigheter og en synskhet så klar uten rettel­ ser, at det hastige forsvinder og livet kommer til­ syne deri.» Billedet, som er datert 1897, er blit til, efterat Gauguin — svekket av et lengere sykeleie, og uten eksistensmidler beslutter frivillig å ende sit liv. Men endnu engang seirer hans sterke konstitu- sjon og ukuelige energi. Nye utveier åpner sig. Han når inden han dør å tilbringe to år på Domi- nique, — Marquesasøene — sine drømmes land.

First influenced by Daumier, Delacroix, Courbet, by study of the Renaissance and Baroque masters and later, in the '70S, by Pissarro and the Impressionists with whom he exhibited. Retired in 1880 to Provence where he painted till his death in 1906. Cezanne, in many ways the most important influence upon aoth Century painting, is remarka- ble for his sense of structure, solidity and order obtained through composition and through his researches in modelling by color (as well as by light and shade). His method of color-modelling is well illustrated in his watercolors. Asidefrom its structural quality the superb decorative beauty of his color is remarkable. *1 SELFPORTRAIT (L'Avocat). before 1870 Oil on canvas, 3I}/a x 25 Ji inches Bequeathed to Museum of Modern Art LANDSCAPE, about 1875 MoMAExh_0012_MasterChecklist *, Oil on canvas, 22;4 x 27Y; inches r Bequeathed to Museum of Modern Art *3 FRUIT AND KNIFE Oil on canvas, 7% x I2Y8 inches Bequeathed to Museum of Modern Art 4 THE DECANTER Oil on canvas, IO}/a x 13K inches Bequeathed to Museum of Modern Art *5 ORANGES Oil on canvas, 22% x 28;.1' inches Bequeathed to Museum of Modern Art *6 PORTRAIT OF M.

  • Paco Durrio Y Paul Gaugin, Una Amistad Que Se Forja En Par…
    PACO DURRIO Y PAUL GAUGUIN: UNA AMISTAD QUE SE FORJA EN PARÍS Iñigo Sarriugarte Gómez Universidad del País Vasco 1-Introducción: Los últimos treinta años del siglo XIX suponen el auge de Cataluña y el País Vasco, consolidándose una base económica, política y social, que marca una notable diferencia con años precedentes. Es en el ámbito de este desarrollo, donde nace Francisco Durrio (1868-1940), posiblemente en el casco viejo de Bilbao. Su familia era de origen francés y se había instalado en la villa unos años antes. Su padre tenía el apellido de Durrieu de Madron. Con las habituales deformaciones lingüísticas generadas por el paso del tiempo, la fonética local lo derivó en Durrio. No obstante, su apellido vuelve a sufrir ciertas derivaciones cuando se desplaza a París, convirtiéndose en Durió1. De niño, recibió junto con Unamuno y Adolfo Guiard clases de pintura, que les imparte Antonio Lecuona. Más adelante, estudia en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Madrid con Pablo Uranga. Se dedica de joven a la escultura y una vez realizada su formación, decide trasladarse a París en 1884 o 1885, con la protección de la familia de Cosme Echevarrieta, llevando el encargo de erigir un mausoleo para el cementerio de Bilbao. Esta experiencia parisina fue tan fructífera que no abandonaría la capital francesa hasta los últimos años de su vida, para realizar otra de sus dedicaciones favoritas: la cerámica, en el pueblo de Saint-Prix (Seine-et-Oise). En este sentido, su vida transcurre entre París y Bilbao, a excepción de una temporada que pasa en Sevres y de su último año en Saint-Prix (Seine- et-Oise).

    Large Print Labels Paul Gauguin: The Art of Invention July 21—September 15, 2019 Main Exhibition Galleries, East Building Text Panels Paul Gauguin: The Art of Invention Throughout his career Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) was a radically experimental artist. He produced inventive work in a wide range of media including the paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and ceramics seen in this exhibition. Gauguin was self-taught and first adopted the then avant-garde Impressionist technique in the 1870s. Thereafter, he pioneered a painting method of flat patterns and strong outlines in the mid-1880s that anticipated 20th-century abstract art. His wood sculptures and hand-molded ceramics also challenged accepted conventions. No other artist of the time pushed artistic boundaries toward abstraction in such a range of materials as Gauguin. Gauguin’s art was deeply influenced by his extensive travels around the world and his experience with a broad range of cultures. Born to a French father and French- Peruvian mother, Gauguin lived in Lima, Peru, as a child. As a young man he spent several years in the French merchant navy, voyaging from Brazil to India to the Arctic Circle. Subsequently, he traveled around France from Paris to Arles to the coast of Brittany. He also briefly lived in Copenhagen, Denmark. Perhaps the most profound impact on Gauguin’s art resulted from his travels to France’s colonies. He spent several months in Martinique in the Caribbean and lived the later years of his life in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. In Polynesia, Gauguin formed intimate relationships with several young women while remaining married to, yet estranged from, his Danish wife, Mette.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

Morehead: Understanding and Translating: Gauguin and Strindberg in 1895 Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 13, no. 1 (Spring 2014) Understanding and Translating: Gauguin and Strindberg in 1895 by Allison Morehead Failure, Understanding, and Myth In late February 1895, Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) told his son Lucien that “the symbolists [were] lost,” and that their “leading figure” Paul Gauguin (1848–1903), had “just had a disastrous failure.”[1] The failure to which Pissarro referred was a sale held at the Hôtel Drouot earlier that month, through which Gauguin had hoped to raise funds to enable him to return to the South Pacific. To highlight Gauguin’s struggles, Pissarro also drew Lucien’s attention to a peculiar exchange of letters between Gauguin and the Swedish writer, playwright, and self- proclaimed “symbolist painter” August Strindberg (1849–1912), which Gauguin had published as the preface to his catalogue.[2] Pissarro lamented the “poor opinion” that this “Norwegian playwright” had of the Impressionists and opined: “He only understands Puvis de Chavannes.” [3] Indeed, in his initial encounters with the work of the Impressionists and that of Gauguin, Strindberg seems to have understood neither.[4] The opening paragraph of his missive ostensibly refused the preface the artist had solicited from him precisely on the basis of not understanding.
