[quote=Anonymous]Just finished the Gaugin biography -- Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gaugin. I read this pretty quickly as there is much of interest (he was there when Van Gogh cut his ear off!) and the writing is excellent. Before I picked it up I remember reading that this was a bit of a rehab of Gaugin's reputation and legacy. I don't think so. I do think the writer is a bit of an apologist, but the facts are there. And anyone whose negative opinion is rehabilitated by this book isn't paying attention. But he was an incredible artist, a fascinating and complex person, and a critical link in the chain of art history, all of which is made clear in the book. I'd give it a 9/10, especially because it is so readable. [/quote]
