Award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux illuminates the extraordinary life of post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin.In 'Wild Thing', the award-winning biographer Sue Prideaux re-examines the adventurous and complicated life of the artist. She illuminates the people, places and ideas that shaped his vision: his privileged upbringing in Peru and rebellious youth in France; the galvanising energy of the Paris art scene; formative encounters with Vincent van Gogh and August Strindberg; and the ceaseless draw of French Polynesia. Drawing from a wealth of new material and access to the artist's family, this myth-busting work invites us to see Gauguin anew.
Tuesday 1st October, 7:30pm. The Bookshop. Doors open 6:50pm.
