Gauguin Portfolio Notes

Galison's Gauguin portfolio showcases paintings Paul Gauguin painted in Tahiti during the last decade of the nineteenth century: the cover image, Nafea Faaipoipo (When Are You Getting Married?), 1892, from the Rudoloph Staechelin Family Foundation, Basel; Parau Api (What's New?), 1892, from the Galerie Neue Meister, Dresden; Woman with Mango, 1893, from The Hermitage, St. Petersburg; and The Bathers, National Gallery of Art, Washington, 1897. All are oil on canvas paintings. Galison's editorial director, Julia Hecomovich, traveled to St. Petersburg in search of Gauguin paintings. Read about her adventure in our blog, The Galiwag. She's also written interesting information on Paul Gauguin and his career for the inside cover of this portfolio.
