During this OMAM Art Book Club happy hour, we'll discuss Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gauguin by Sue Prideaux, a 2025 biography that re-examines the artist's life using new research, including his son's memoir and dental analysis that challenges the syphilis myth. The book portrays Gauguin as a complex figure who advocated for Indigenous rights in Tahiti, challenging his scandalous reputation and highlighting his artistic vision and impact on modern art.RSVPs are encouraged as refreshments will be provided. This program is included with museum admission, but is completely FREE for current OMAM members and US veterans. Come early to explore the exhibits, gift shop and gardens. Those in attendance will help select a future book and meeting date, so bring your recommendations!
