About this Item
EUGNE HENRI PAUL GAUGUIN (1848-1903). Gauguin was a French ceramist, painter, printmaker, sculptor, and writer primarily aligned with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.Signature. 4 x 5. 1890. Paris. An envelope signed Paul Gauguin on the verso, and on the front is written in Gauguins writing, Mousier Emile Schuffenecker Artiste Peintre 31 Rue 3 Zezin Paris. The original stamp and postmark are also included. Paul Gauguin was a late-19th century post-Impressionist painter. He was originally an Impressionist in the early 1880s close to Vincent van Gogh, amongst others, but he soon transitioned towards painting less traditional subject matters outside of Western culture. He was especially fascinated by Polynesian culture, and in 1891 he set sail for the French colony of Tahiti. However, while this odyssey brought him artistic notice, it led to financial and health struggles that he never recovered from. Claude-mile Schuffenecker (1851-1934) was a close friend and a fellow post-Impressionist. He is best known for establishing The Volpini Exhibition in 1889 with Gauguin, which not only purposefully excluded other post-Impressionists like Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Henri-Edmond Cross and Pissarro, but led to the breakdown in Gauguins friendship with van Gogh when his brother, Theo van Gogh, refused to have his brothers work displayed. Vincent van Gogh committed suicide the following year, the same year as the envelope. The envelope has been spread open, and other than some minor tears and rough edges, it is in good condition. Gauguin is a scarce to rare signature. Seller Inventory # 6263
