Kimbell Art Museum

Published to accompany the Kimbell’s exhibition Gauguin and Impressionism (through March 26, 2006), this lavishly illustrated 366-page book by Richard R. Brettell and Anne-Birgitte Fonsmark takes a revelatory look at Gauguin’s involvement with—and impact upon—the Impressionist movement. It presents the first-ever survey of the subtle and beautiful works of the early phase of Gauguin’s career—from 1875 to 1887—when his distinctive boldness of color, brushwork, and composition began to emerge.
