Gauguin Portraits, Exhibition, National Gallery, London: 7 October 2019 - 26 January 2020

This is archived material. It is for reference purposes only.

For the first time in the UK there will be an exhibition at the London National Gallery of works of the French painter Gauguin. It will feature around 50 works including paintings, works and drafts.

Gauguin stands out from the other impressionist painters, because of the subject matter of his works, most of them related to the Pacific Islands where he lived and painted for most of his life.

The exhibition displays works of the painter which have never been seen in the UK before, including the only portrait ever commissioned to him: the portrait of a young woman in 1896, which has been lent from a Danish Gallery. The French family who commissioned their daughter’s portrait to Gauguin was not pleased by the result!

Focusing on the period from the mid-1880s to the end of his life in 1903, the exhibition will examine how Gauguin moved away from Impressionism towards Symbolism.
