| book description |

Published in conjunction with the exhibition Gauguin: Metamorphoses at The Museum of Modern Art, this volume explores the remarkable relationship between Paul Gauguinâ€™s rare and extraordinary prints and transfer drawings, and his better-known paintings and sculptures in wood and ceramic. Created in several discreet bursts of activity from 1889 until his death in 1903, these remarkable works on paper reflect Gauguinâ€™s experiments with a range of mediums, from radically â€˜primitiveâ€™ woodcuts that extend from the sculptural gouging of his carved wood reliefs, to jewel-like watercolour monotypes and large, mysterious transfer drawings. Richly illustrated with approximately 190 works in a range of mediums, Gauguin: Metamorphoses explores the artistâ€™s radically experimental approach to techniques and his pivotal place in the history of art. An introductory essay by Starr Figura considers the significance of Gauguinâ€™s innovative printmaking and the relationship between his prints and works in painting and sculpture. Elizabeth Childs writes on Gauguinâ€™s radical wood sculptures, using them as a touchstone from which to further investigate his peripatetic practice. An essay by Hal Foster addresses Gauguinâ€™s â€˜primitivismâ€™ and its aesthetic and cultural implications. An essay by Erika Mosier offers a conservatorâ€™s insights into Gauguinâ€™s unusual printmaking techniques.
