Reviews
This book is the catalogue for an exhibition held at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Cleveland Museum of Art and centers on a series of iconic prints (zincographs) that Gauguin showed during the 1889 World Fair in Paris. Being prevented from officially showing his art in the Fair itself, he chose to display it on the walls of Mr. Volpini's Café des Arts (alongside works by other artists belonging to the "synthetist movement"), which was located within the premises of the Fair. The "Volpini Suite", as this series later came to be known, is a concentrate of all Gauguin's art, his first breakthrough as a modern master, and is thoroughly studied here by experts in the field. The text is accompanied by beautiful illustrations of about 60 works by Gauguin and his friends of the Pont-Aven school (Emile Bernard, Louis Anquetin...), which makes this book an interesting and erudite (sometimes too erudite...)addition to the literature on the artist. Do not expect a complete retrospective on Gauguin though, as this is not the aim of this study.
