Paul Gauguin
1848 - 1903
Post Impressionist
Like Van Gough, Gauguin's work was not appreciated until after his death. He was later recognized for his experimental use of colors in the Synthetist style. He left a great influence on the modern masters, Picasso, Munch and Braque. He was most famous for his paintings of the women of the Tahiti Islands, where he spent the later years of his life.
