She portrays a self-taught artist who produced influential work in painting, ceramics and prints, and a complicated man rather than a simple villain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book follows Gauguin to Tahiti, where he championed Indigenous rights and challenged French colonial abuses through a local newspaper and the courts. Prideaux draws on new research, including a recovered manuscript of Gauguin's key writings, his son's untranslated memoir and dental evidence that questions the claim that he had syphilis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e**Best used for:** Readers of art history and biography, and anyone interested in Gauguin, Post-Impressionism or colonial Tahiti.\n\u003cbr\u003e**Not recommended for:** Readers looking for a pure art-technique guide or a picture-only coffee table book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sound Select ZA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58019766010022,"sku":"TT7737","price":310.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1646\/1222\/files\/9781324020424.jpg?v=1793693550","url":"https:\/\/soundselect.co.za\/products\/wild-thing-a-life-of-paul-gauguin-tt7737","provider":"Sound Select ZA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
