Currently on display at The National Gallery of Art, Gauguin: Maker of Myth, which presents the first major exhibition of art by Paul Gauguin since the late 1980s. This collection of 120 paintings, drawings, and sculptures explores the esoteric painter’s self-identification as a “savage,” as well as his preoccupation with primitive cultures, primal themes, and the role of temptation throughout religions and mythology.
T he National Gallery of Art, the touring exhibit’s only US venue, will have it on view through June 5, 2011, at all times free to the public.
