Monday, March 31, 2025,
2:30pm – 3:30pm,
ASA Koffler Great Room and Zoom
For much of his life the French artist Paul Gauguin searched for an escape from ‘anything that is artificial and conventional.’ He tried living a simple, uncluttered life among rural communities in Brittany, far from the increasingly industrialized and materialistic life in cities. Dissatisfied with that, he ventured deeper, to Martinique in the Caribbean, and then to the distant South Pacific islands – first to Tahiti, and finally to the even more remote Marquesas Islands.Martin Randall will explore the controversial life and work of Gauguin as he delved deeper and deeper into the mystic in search of the authentic.
We’ll see astounding images he created, particularly during his time in Tahiti and the Marquesas, sometimes blending reality with imagination and bringing a vision of a paradisiacal world that most of us will never see ourselves.
