Lecture by Elizabeth Childs, Etta and Mark Steinberg Professor of Art History, Washington University in St. Louis. French avant-garde artist Paul Gauguin is perhaps best known for the art he produced in Tahiti during his first trip there in 1891. This lecture examines a later period of Gauguin’s life and art, including his increasing engagement with modern Polynesian culture, his fascination with global religions, his artistic texts, and his relocation to the Marquesas Islands in 1901.
