Gauguin in Washington


My wife and I have a nice fat book on Gauguin that I've been looking at again recently. That was before I heard about "Gauguin: Maker of Myths" that is traveling to Washington from the Tate Modern. The image shown here is one of my favorite pieces and it's exciting to think I can take a short trip to see it in person.

The NYT's did a nice review of the show today that includes all of the details.
