Invites us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about Gauguin... [Wild Thing] brims with reputation-redeeming surprises., A rich psychological portrait that is buttressed by abundant historical detail. [Wild Thing] makes for a revealing window into a unique artistic mind., This sympathetic biography is a heroic rehabilitation . . . Prideaux is one of the finest biographers working today., As an art critic and cultural historian Sue Prideaux is thoughtful and knowledgeable. As a biographer she is witty and bold. She writes with panache about the artist's prosperous years and with unshockable sympathy about his hard times. A scintillating account of a richly complicated life., A remarkable, important portrait... Prideaux has a gift for illustrating the intricacies of an artist's perspective., A spirited biography... [Wild Thing] is an ode to both a singular visionary and a world, not unlike ours, in the throes of political and artistic turmoil., Sue Prideaux's highly readable biography argues that Gauguin's life was far more complicated and nuanced than previously understood., A gift for disrupting snap judgments... [Prideaux] chooses to consider events in view of historical circumstance rather than moral dicta., A brilliantly readable and compassionate study of Gauguin - not just as a painter, sculptor, carver and potter, but as a human soul perpetually searching for what is always just out of reach., This detailed biography complicates our perception of the bad boy of French art and illuminates his fraught friendship with Van Gogh . . . Prideaux examines the facts and contexts of the painter's South Sea life in greater detail than before, while refusing to begin to judge any of those choices., Enthralling [and] terrific... When it comes to Gauguin, [Prideaux] is everything you might want in a biographer: diligent, judicious, compassionate without being indulgent., The definitive biography of an artist like Gauguin rolls around once in a generation, and this might well be the one for ours., Newly definitive, impeccably researched, and lavishly illustrated... See[s] a pioneering artist in a new light., Gruesomely fascinating... A biography for anyone who wants to know about the man behind some irrepressibly memorable art, about one of the most creatively magic moments of European history and about a vividly extreme version of a recurring human situation., Scintillating . . . [a] triumph . . . As a man, as an artist, Gauguin was more than one thing, and Prideaux colourfully fleshes out his story with nuance and detail.

Synopsis
One of Literary Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025 One of Five Books Best Nonfiction Books of 2024 Shortlisted for the 2024 Baillie Gifford Prize An original and revealing portrait of the misunderstood French Post-Impressionist artist. Paul Gauguin's legend as a transgressive genius arises as much from his biography as his aesthetically daring Polynesian paintings. Gauguin is chiefly known for his pictures that eschewed convention, to celebrate the beauty of an indigenous people and their culture. In this gorgeously illustrated, myth-busting work, Sue Prideaux reveals that while Gauguin was a complicated man, his scandalous reputation is largely undeserved. Self-taught, Gauguin became a towering artist in his brief life, not just in painting but in ceramics and graphics. He fled the bustle of Paris for the beauty of Tahiti, where he lived simply and worked consistently to expose the tragic results of French Colonialism. Gauguin fought for the rights of Indigenous people, exposing French injustices and corruption in the local newspaper and acting as advocate for the Tahitian people in the French colonial courts. His unconventional career and bold, breathtaking art influenced not only Vincent van Gogh, but Matisse and Picasso. Wild Thing upends much of what we thought we knew about Gauguin through new primary research, including the resurfaced manuscript of Gauguin's most important writing, the untranslated memoir of Gauguin's son, and a sample of Gauguin's teeth that disproves the pernicious myth of his syphilis. In the first full biography of Paul Gauguin in thirty years, Sue Prideaux illuminates the extraordinary oeuvre of a visionary artist vital to the French avant-garde. The result is "a brilliantly readable and compassionate study of Gauguin--not just as a painter, sculptor, carver and potter, but as a human soul perpetually searching for what is always just out of reach" (Artemis Cooper, Spectator)., Paul Gauguin's legend as a transgressive genius arises as much from his biography as his aesthetically daring Polynesian paintings.
