Dario Gamboni's Study of Paul Gauguin's Mystical Thought Published by Les Presses du réel

In February 2014, artpress published a review of Dario Gamboni's book 'Paul Gauguin au « centre mystérieux de la pensée »' released by Les Presses du réel. The publication examines Gauguin's exploration of mystical and philosophical concepts through his artistic practice. Gamboni, an art historian, analyzes how Gauguin positioned himself at what he termed the 'mysterious center of thought,' investigating the intersection of spirituality, symbolism, and creativity in the artist's work. The book appears in artpress issue 408, offering scholarly insight into Gauguin's intellectual and artistic development beyond his well-known post-impressionist style. This academic work contributes to ongoing discourse about Gauguin's complex legacy and his engagement with esoteric ideas during his career.
