There really is something about Gauguin that appeals to all ages. For me it’s his stunning use of colors combined with his mysterious use of symbolism. My 9 year old son picked Gauguin’s “The Day of the God”
and “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”
out of a wide selection of impressionist and post impressionist paintings as his favorite. I’ve found that kids love to imitate his style because it is bold and colorful and captures their imagination. If you are thinking about doing one of the Gauguin’s in needlepoint, pick silk for the intense colors and be prepared for putting some serious thought into interpreting your canvas. The color changes are frequent and subtle.
