Paul Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings are world-renowned, yet his artistic journey began much earlier, in France. This exhibition at Budapest's Museum of Fine Arts traces this path chronologically – from Paris and Brittany, through Arles, to the worlds of Martinique, Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. In doing so, it reveals the development of Gauguin’s distinctive painterly language, in which colours, forms and symbols each play an independent role.
The exhibition comprises 150 artworks, including 80 pieces by Gauguin. Alongside, visitors can discover creations by his predecessors and contemporaries, such as Gustave Courbet, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh.
