Gauguin Christ in the Garden of Olives Fine Art Postcard

Christ in the Garden of Olives, Paul Gauguin, 1889. Oil on canvas, 73 x 92 cm. Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Florida. Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 - 8 May 1903) was a leading French Post-Impressionist artist. He was an important figure in the Symbolist movement as a painter, sculptor, print-maker, ceramist, and writer. His bold experimentation with colouring led directly to the Synthetist style of modern art while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to Primitivism and the return to the pastoral. He was also an influential proponent of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms.
