The many faces of Paul Gauguin

Posted on Monday May 7, 2007

I found an interesting study about the paintings of Paul Gauguin. It turns out, Paul Gauguin used to embed faces inside his paintings.

In an artist’s study, it turns out that “There is always a face on the edge of the canvas watching from the background. Obvious faces, partial faces and impressionistic faces.”

This video is a never before seen exhibition of the hidden faces of Paul Gauguin:
