Paul Gauguin by David Sweetman
Based on original research from Peru to the South Seas, this biography of Paul Gauguin challenges the view of him given in the novel The Moon and Sixpence by Somerset Maugham - that he threw up a successful career in business and abandoned his family to become a painter on a far away tropical island. Other titles by the author include a biography of Van Gogh - The Love of Many Things and Mary Renault.
David Sweetman is a biographer, art-historian and poet. Before becoming a writer he worked for the BBC and has made art documentaries. He now lives in London and France
