The Cleveland Museum presents over 100 pieces – paintings, wood work, drawings, ceramics – by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, 1848-1903, to track how he developed his style in the year 1889.
“The exhibition documents the development of familiar motifs—such as the mourning Eve, the woman in the waves, and fruit bearers—that would distinguish Gauguin’s work for the rest of his career.”
This event is also intended to “…re-create on a smaller scale the radical independent exhibition that Gauguin organized with his artistic disciples on the grounds of the 1889 Exhibition Universelle—a display of about 100 paintings now recognized as the first Symbolist exhibition in Paris. “
