Gauguin - Loin de la route

In this intimate 2013 graphic biography from Le Lombard, the artist known for his tropical palette is reexamined through the lens of his final years in the Marquesas Islands. The single volume strips away the romantic myth to focus on the man behind the brush—his contradictions, his exile, and the raw relationship between his life and his art. Written and drawn with a textured, period-appropriate style, it offers a concise yet nuanced portrait for readers seeking a grounded take on a titan of modern painting.
