Art History Talks Encore!
Thanks to overwhelming support by Island art patrons for Art
Historian Rebecca Albiani’s Mini-Series presentations, VAA added
an encore January Art History Talks event centered on late 19th
Century painter Paul Gauguin. The talk ties into Seattle Art
Museum’s Gauguin exhibition, which opens Feb. 9.
Albiani, in her charmingly irreverent approach to art history,
admits that Gauguin is not her favorite artist personality. “A
man who left his Danish wife and five children to do his
tortured artist thing, he was really quite a despicable
character,” she says. “His art however was important in the
Symbolism movement as he moved away from visual impressionism
and more into myth, poetry and dream. In a way, he invented the
myth of the artist seeking paradise.”
Albiani will show Gauguin’s work before and after Tahiti and
share more about his artistic influences as well as juicy
tidbits about his colorful life.
