This is an interesting note, but I’d really like to dig into this more. We could make jokes about bees preferring impressionist work but I wonder if it’s the specific colors being used, or that bees recognize that flowers in a vase are dying and therefore less fit food sources. But also, hilarious to think that the bees in your garden actively remember your face

We all know that Vincent van Gogh cut off his own ear during an argument with Paul Gauguin, but I often wonder if he he actually won that argument and the ear was the clincher.

Two Women by Paul #Gauguin 1902
#oilcanvas painting
Gauguin based this formidable composition on a photograph of two women seated side by side on the stoop of a house. He painted it just before or after his 1901 departure from Tahiti for the Marquesas Islands.https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/438001

Paul #Gauguin was born #OTD (7 Jun 1848 – 8 May 1903). The lower right corner of his 1902 painting Le Sorcier d'Hiva Oa depicts a dog seizing a bird which may be a Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae), a now presumed #extinct species with no other images or skins known to exist.

Das Image des französischen Malers Paul #Gauguin bröckelt. Mit heutigen Augen spiegelt sein Werk Exotik, Kolonialismus, den Missbrauch Minderjähriger und kultureller Aneignung. 2023 wäre Gauguins 175. Geburtstag. Über den Feierlichkeiten stehen Fragezeichen.

Who can make heads or tails out of this provenance for a #Gauguin at the #NelsonAtkins #Museum of #Art?

Did #Thannhauser own it?
If so, when?
What versions of the story are presented?

@BlumeEvolution Danke für den Hinweis- ist vielleicht eine längere Anfahrt wert! Ich habe digitalisierte Kunst zum ersten Mal 2015 beim #Gauguin Ausstellungskatalog in Augmented Reality im #Beyeler Museum Basel erlebt, und war sofort Feuer und Flamme!

My #editor called one of my sentences eloquent. Doesn’t always happen, so worth noting! In other news, two someones went to the groomer today. #dogsofmastodon #gauguin #amwriting #thedisappearinggauguin

@maxkoss looking forward to reading! I’m working to unsnarl the provenance of a set of #Gauguin paintings sold in the #Paris #ArtMarket in the 1920s. Useful to have broader context! #museums #MaterialCulture #JHUMuseumStudies

Paul Gauguin, Martinique Landscape, 1887

Gauguin's glowing colours convey the exotic character of the Martinique landscape. His brushstrokes are visible, but fuse into flatter areas of colour.

"Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power."

- Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?, 1897

Looking for a society more simple and elemental, Gauguin left France for Tahiti in 1891. During the process of creating this painting, Gauguin experienced a number of difficult events in his personal life. He suffered from medical conditions including eczema, syphilis, and conjunctivitis. He faced financial challenges, going into debt. He was also informed about the death of his daughter from Copenhagen.

Writing today about the Reinhardt Galleries in NY in 1920s: anyone out there familiar with them? #amwriting #provenance #artmarket #gauguin

Sé que te gustaría habitar en la ‘tierra fabulosa’ y virginal que #Gauguin imaginó cuando se propuso #EmocionArte. Que gozarías, como él, de la dicha de vivir en armonía con la naturaleza, en el paraíso ‘perfumado’ que ‘antaño’ floreció en los #MaresdelSur. #MataMua @MuseoThyssen
