Available on Prime Video, BBC Select
In 1903, a syphilitic and alcoholic Frenchman called Paul Gauguin died on a remote Pacific island. At that point no-one realized the incredible impact he was to have on modern art. In this remarkable BBC art documentary, critic Waldemar Januszczak tells the story of Gauguin's life and examines the accusations of sexual misconduct, family neglect and racism that are frequently made against him.
