Biography: Paul Gauguin was born in 1848 in Paris, France. He died in 1903 at the age of 54 in French Polynesia. From the age of three to seven, Gauguin lived with his mother and sister in Lima, Peru (his father had died on the voyage from France). His family returned to France to live with his grandfather in Orleans in 1855. Gauguin pursued a career as a stockbroker starting in 1871, got married in 1873, and had five children. He continued to pursue art and paint on the side, an interest he had had since childhood, and began showing in Impressionist exhibitions beginning in 1881, encouraged by friends such as Camille Pissarro and Paul Cezanne. After relocating his family to Denmark, where his wife had family, Gauguin returned alone to Paris in 1885, determined to pursue painting full-time. Among the artists he associated with most closely during that time was Vincent Van Gogh. In 1891, Gauguin sailed to Tahiti where he was to paint many of his most famous paintings, and where he was to remain for the rest of his life, except for one visit to Paris to sell paintings. While Gauguin is generally grouped among the Post-Impressionists, very diverse artists are grouped under that category, with his style also associated with Cloissonism and Synthetism, as well as influencing the development of Fauvism.
