Phototopia Paul Gauguin "Self-portrait"
Paul Gauguin's work was revolutionary for its time. For the first time, instead of the antique ideal, the European public was presented with "barbarian" images. The culture of uncivilized peoples, long considered wild and primitive, suddenly became interesting to a wide audience.
Following Gauguin, artists began to try on this exotic style, which later grew into a separate direction in art - neo-primitivism. True, not only the new plot and its unusual embodiment attracted contemporaries, but also the path of the artist himself, who rejected the benefits of civilization in order to experience primitive life in all its simplicity. And perhaps the most interesting document about his biography are the self-portraits that the artist left in large quantities.
