Paul Gauguin. Big Atlas

Once the French painter Gauguin, his colleague Edgar Degas compared with a wolf from the fable de Lafontaine. This hungry tramp started a conversation with a very well -fed dog, which was resting after eating, falling apart in the peasant courtyard. The dog told a skinny and hungry wolf that every day the owner fed her and surrounded her with care. Such a light life liked the wolf, and he decided to stay with the peasants. But then I saw a chain on which the dog was planted. Will he really have to sacrifice his freedom? Never. Gauguin also had.

he left women and children, cut off friendships and refused a promising career. All for the sake of painting. Life threw Gauguin into different corners of the earth: from England, Denmark and Spain to Martiniki, Tahiti and Khiva-Oa, islands in the Pacific Ocean, where he painted paintings that, after death, glorified him throughout the world. In the Gauguen's Big Atlas, we will travel along the traces of the famous artist.
