'Scrupulously fair' The Times 'Meticulously researched' ArtReview 'A must-read' Australian Book Review The Post-Impressionist artist and writer Paul Gauguin led an extraordinary, troubled and restlessly itinerant life; he came late to painting and spent most of his last decade in the Pacific islands of Tahiti and the Marquesas, where he produced paintings loosely based on Polynesian tradition that heralded the emergence of primitivism and would exert a profound influence on modernist artists from Picasso and Matisse to Jackson Pollock. But his art, despite its growing popularity following Gauguin's death in 1903, has provoked mixed responses: although some praise his knowledge and understanding of the Polynesian world, others are censorious, regarding elements of his work as expressions of racism, misogyny and colonial sexual exploitation, which he is seen both to have engaged in and validated through his art. In Gauguin in Polynesia, author Nicholas Thomas retells Gauguin's story for a twenty-first-century audience, giving greater consideration to the Pacific contexts of his experience, and Pacific perspectives on his art and his legacy.
Nicholas Thomas is an Australian anthropologist, who was co-curator of the Royal Academy exhibition Oceania. He is Professor of Historical Anthropology, Director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, and has been a Fellow of Trinity College since 2007. He was awarded the 2010 Wolfson History Prize for Islanders: The Pacific in the Age of Empire.
