Paul Gauguin His Life and Art. E-book. Formato PDF John Gould Fletcher   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Son, Paul, was born to M. And Madame Gauguin, residing in Paris. This infant, brought obscurely into the world to the sound of cannon, was destined by one of the ironic dispensations of Nature to become later the leader of an art-revolution as far reaching and as important in its effects as the great attempt of 1848. His life was to be a constant struggle with the growing bourgeois civilization, the middle-class morality, of the late nineteenth century; his art was to speak the promise of a renewed world, a world where man could again walk naked, unashamed and free, as in Eden. He was destined to break beneath the inert weight of social conventions and stupidities, as the revolution had been broken by the armed forces at the disposal of the govern ment: but his ideas were to point the way to new conceptions of art and of life, which only the future can realize.
