In this hall, devoted to the work of Paul Gauguin (1848–1903), one of the foremost Post-Impressionists, the earliest painting, Two Sisters, dates from 1892, and the latest, Sunflowers, from 1901.
The works of the “Tahitian” period present images of a certain mysterious world that still retains the memory of primaeval harmony.
These works were executed in Gauguin's mature manner with an emphasis on flat shapes that he usually called Syntheticism or Symbolism.
Paintings by Gauguin can also be seen in Hall 411.
