The MoMA is the show's only venue, which means that not many people who love Gauguin's work will be able to see it. Fortunately, the catalogue does it full justice in every respect. When we think of Gauguin, we think first, of course, of oil on canvas (or burlap or sailcloth or whatever other fabric support was available and affordable), and then of the wonderful wood carvings that he always did alongside the paintings and that are also frequently represented in exhibitions of his work.

The result is a much expanded sense of Gauguin's inventiveness, his working methods and how much he accomplished during his relatively brief maturity. (Halle Howard Time Out New York) . It is distinguished by excellent essays by Starr Figura, who organized the show, as well as by Elizabeth Childs, Hal foster and Erika Mosier.
