Summary

With exceptional loans from numerous influential museums and private collectors from across the world, we now proudly present ?Gauguin and His Friends?. The exhibition shows how, at the end of the nineteenth century, Paul Gauguin and the group of artists around him created an entirely new painterly expression. A symbolist painting where dreams, places, and imagination were interwoven in colourful and daring compositions without depth effect. Gauguin wanted to free art from the shackles of naturalism, yearning for a time when life was unspoilt by the dogmas of civilisation. He found inspiration in Brittany in the isolated towns Pont-Aven and Le Pouldu where the primitive lifestyle, deep piety, and folklore of the rural population helped set his art free. This new departure was adopted by a group of young artists known as the Pont-Aven school. The exhibition will feature several major works by Gauguin never previously shown in Denmark.00Exhibition: Ordrupgaard, Copenhagen, Denmark (26.01. - 01.05.2022).
