Paul Gauguin changed the course of art history, but to many he's a monster. The modern master accused of taking ‘child brides’ in Tahiti is long dead, but his legacy in the Pacific is well and truly alive. Hosted by award-winning Samoan-Australian journalist Sosefina Fuamoli, this four-part series asks... can you love the art but loathe the artist?
The Gauguin Dilemma has been produced alongside the National Gallery exhibition Gauguin’s World: Tōna Iho, Tōna Ao.

Paul Gauguin broke the rules about colour and line. But the details of his personal life are deeply controversial. By today’s standards, Gauguin’s relationships with his Polynesian muses would be criminal. But is it fair to judge history by today’s standards? Or should we judge him by the mark he left on the islands he visited?
