Gauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise
Seattle Art Museum presents the only United States stop for Gauguin & Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise, a landmark show highlighting the complex relationship between Paul Gauguins work and the art and culture of Polynesia. The exhibition, on view at SAM Downtown February 9 through April 29, 2012, includes about 60 of Gauguins brilliantly hued paintings, sculptures and works on paper, which are displayed alongside 60 major examples of Polynesian sculpture that fueled his search for the exotic. Organized by the Art Centre Basel, the show is comprised of works on loan from some of the worlds most prestigious museums and private collections.
This application includes interviews with SAM curators and Gauguin and Polynesian art historian scholars, cultural insights and music from a Tahitian drumming company, as well as images of selected artworks from the exhibition.
