This authoritative exhibition catalogue chronicles the bold visual language pioneered by Paul Gauguin and the circle of avant-garde artists who gathered around him in the 1880s and 1890s, presenting a rich survey of prints and paintings that broke decisively from Impressionism in favour of flattened forms, symbolic colour, and spiritual intensity. Caroline Boyle-Turner, in collaboration with Samuel Josefowitz, details the works and their contexts with scholarly precision, while a foreword by Douglas Druick of the Art Institute of Chicago lends further critical weight to the volume.\n\nThe catalogue argues compellingly that Pont-Aven was not merely a backdrop but a crucible — a place where Gauguin, Émile Bernard, Paul Sérusier, and others forged the foundations of Synthetism and Proto-Symbolism, movements that would profoundly reshape twentieth-century art. Boyle-Turner's prose is measured yet evocative, illuminating the interplay between landscape, mysticism, and formal innovation that defined this singular moment in art history. Published in association with the Royal Academy of Arts, London, this is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand how a small Breton village became one of the most fertile proving grounds in the history of modern art — and why Gauguin's shadow still falls so long across the contemporary imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203110740187,"sku":"2026200012843-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/30d2260a-b8f5-46a1-a833-4544c429059e.png?v=1788144015","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012843-secondhand-gauguin-and-the-school-of-pont-aven-prints-and-paintings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
