Paul Gauguin

The WPI’s digital catalogue raisonné provides a comprehensive account of the paintings made by Paul Gauguin between 1889 and 1903. A forthcoming digital monograph by Sylvie Crussard will address the artwork he completed between 1889 and 1891 in Brittany and Paris. Gauguin’s early career, including paintings from 1873 to 1888, is documented in two print volumes from 2002 by Daniel Wildenstein, which are available as legacy publications on the WPI website. The WPI will continue to make a host of archival resources and online programming available.

Thirty years after Georges Wildenstein published Gauguin’s first catalogue raisonné, his son Daniel entirely reworked it in two volumes, which survey the youth and early maturity of Paul Gauguin. Each work’s notice offers detailed analysis of Gauguin’s artistic development, and contextualizes his work in relation to contemporary socio-cultural issues.
