Recenze Dario Gamboni

In this notebook, Dario Gamboni embarks on the trail of the notoriously restless artist Paul Gauguin. During the period of incubation that the artist customarily underwent after arriving in a new environment, such as Brittany, Auckland (New Zealand), or Tahiti, he drew in order to familiarize himself with the local nature. Gamboni studied some of these places as well as drawings and other works by Gauguin, capturing his own observations in photographs, drawings, and notes. The resulting comparisons and analyses, elaborated in extensive image captions, bear witness to the intensive approach made by the author toward Gauguin s way of working and thinking. In his introduction, Gamboni delves into processes of perception and cognition, employing various techniques among them the making of notes after Gauguin s notes that he applies in his own practice, techniques that led him to a form of imitation. schovat popis
