Journalist Rescues Gauguin's Son From Degradation
In 1961 Emile Gauguin, son of Paul Gauguin, was rescued from street hardship in Tahiti by a journalist who funded his meals and encouraged painting. Emile later pursued wood carving in Chicago and Geneva, finding dignity and a path from alcoholism while seeking artistic independence. The piece parallels father and son struggles and notes Emile's first solo show recently in Geneva and Paris.
