Trade Review
“Visually luxurious.”—Holland Cotter, New York Times Book Review

“Visually luxurious . . . a persuasive reminder—those colors!—of what made Gauguin the modernist pioneer he was, and the contemporary star he is. . . . Very readable essays all touch on the ethical reservations that are now forever attached to his body of work . . . [while] the reproductions stand as proof that at least some of his art is still, more than a century on, stop-and-stare beautiful, and in ways that no other art is.”—Holland Cotter, New York Times Book Review

“This book is the first in-depth investigation of Gauguin’s portraits, revealing how the artist revolutionised the genre.”—Intelligent Magazine
