Paul Gauguin – Damned Artist
Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist painter who along with Van Gogh became the synonym for the romantic vision of the damned artist since his work was unappreciated during his life and celebrated only after his death. Besides his painting, he is famous by his invention of Tahiti and Polynesia as both a new tourist destination and a source of artistic inspiration.
