Explore "Paul Gauguin" by John Gould Fletcher on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The place of refuge which Gauguin found was the village of Pont-Aven in the district of Finistere in Brittany.
There is no doubt that this chosen spot and its surroundings had upon his art an influence only secondary to that exercised later by Tahiti. Indeed the charm of Tahiti itself was slow to efface this influence.
