- Summary:
- This film uses the artist's own writings and artwork to trace his creative journey. The film begins with Gauguin losing his job in finance--the catalyst for his commitment to paint every day-and continues through to his final days in Tahiti. After leaving Paris, Gauguin settles in Brittany, where he is inspired the landscape and the locals. After a time though, Gauguin, miserable and impoverished, sets off for Tahiti. Here, he would create the paintings that would bring him lasting fame, but near the end of his life he considered his Tahitian sojourn a "crazy sad adventure."
