Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien Gauguin – unexpected

The retrospective traces Paul Gauguin’s path from his beginnings as a Post-Impressionist to his pioneering role as one of the fathers of modernism, encompassing all facets of his oeuvre, including painting, graphic art, and sculpture. His art questioned tradition and viewing habits and aimed to develop a new visual language in which the simplicity of form and the expressive power of color were the most important protagonists. Today, in the context of postcolonial discourse and debates on abuse, the figure of an artist is being scrutinized whose formally and aesthetically innovative and fascinating oeuvre continues to inspire. This comprehensive publication takes a fresh look at Gauguin and highlights lesser-known aspects of his oeuvre with works from international museums and important private collections.
