Gauguin: Voyage To TahitiNovember 15, 2019

1891. Painter Paul Gauguin (Vincent Cassel) is already well-known in Parisian artistic circles, but is tired of the so-called civilized world and its political, moral and artistic conventions. Leaving his wife and children behind, he ventures alone to the other end of the world, Tahiti, consumed with a yearning for original purity, and ready to sacrifice everything for his quest. Impoverished and solitary, Gauguin pushes deep into the Tahitian jungle, where he meets the Maoris and Tehura, his muse, who will inspire his most iconic works of art.

Gauguin: Voyage To Tahiti was broadcast on SBS ONE at Wednesday 25 November 2020, 10:30. This episode was initially placed on Friday 15 November 2019.
