paul gauguin
french
paris 1848-1903 marquesas island
post impressionism
--
both parents political non conformist
on louis napoleons short list
leaving france for peru
father never getting to
on the ship his last breath
heart attack causing death
six years in peru
then france returning to
orleans drab dull bourgeois
gaugan joins the merchant navy
then stockbroking he turned to
much wealth he did accrue
well known business man standing tall
family children-leaving all
the panama canal finding work
leaves to satisfy his artistic quirk
on a polynesian island he practised art
amongst post impressionists playing his
part
