REDON, Odilon
(b. 1840, Bordeaux, d. 1916, Paris)

Paul Gauguin

1903-05
Oil on canvas, 66 x 55 cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris

This picture, which shows so little likeness to Gauguin, was painted after Gauguin's death in 1903, completely from memory. The painter is depicted here detached from all material relationships in a world that belongs completely to painting and fantasy, to dream and vision.
