8 works across 3 institutions
London holds 8 works by Paul Gauguin across 3 institutions, including National Gallery, Courtauld Gallery, and Tate Modern.
Gauguin's Tahitian paintings use colour and form with a boldness that was startling to his contemporaries and remains powerful today. The scale of his ambition is best understood through original canvases, where his unconventional technique — rough surfaces, complex paint layers — is fully visible.
