 | The largest Gauguin exhibition ever held in the Pacific Northwest is now on view at the Seattle Art Museum, but it’s not the Gauguin work alone that’s news. Appearing at only two venues – Copenhagen and Seattle – the show includes dozens of artworks from Polynesia itself, a number of which have never been shown outside the region. Viewers are thus able to experience the full richness of Oceanic culture in a way that Gauguin himself never enjoyed. KUOW's art critic, Gary Faigin, adds his thoughtful interpretation of the exhibit and its curatorial program. |
