As those extraordinary years unfolded

Gauguin Barkley L. Hendricks In his fresh take onPaul Gauguin (18481903) had a series of unsuccessful ventures in finance, the French Navy, and as a salesman. He started painting in 1873 and exhibited alongside Pissarro, Degas, and Monet three years later. Known for his tempestuous nature, Gauguin referred to himself as a "savage". His tumultuous friendship with Vincent van Gogh reached a breaking point in 1888, when van Gogh confronted him with a razor blade and later mutilated his own ear.
