Examples of interiors and furniture from the 19th Century that Gauguin was used to can be seen in various photographs or paintings.
Between 1870 and 1880, Gauguin was a wealthy stockbroker. He was the pupil of Arosa, was married to a Danish woman and had a fine Parisian accommodation. He even bought Impressionist works.
Between 1870 and 1880, Gauguin was a wealthy stockbroker. He was the pupil of Arosa, was married to a Danish woman and had a fine Parisian accommodation. He even bought Impressionist works.
But when he lost his job he gave up all that for a simpler way of life as a painter. He returned to Paris but he was now living in a rented room. In 1886 he went to Pont-Aven in Brittany. And then he realized he would like to live as a savage so he visited to Martinique. But in 1888 he was back in Brittany. Struggling with poverty, he then joined Van Gogh at his brother's invitation in Arles. His room was arranged by Theo van Gogh in the so called Yellow House. There are two paintings depicting interiors, both done by Van Gogh: Bedroom in Arles and Gauguin's Armchair.
In 1891 he left France and traveled to Tahiti thinking the life there and its simplicity would suit him better. He did paintings of his Tahitian girlfriends here, paintings in which some details of the interiors and fabrics can be seen.
The Peruvian experience
Gauguin's mother was Peruvian. He lived there almost 7 years of his childhood and even after he returned to Paris he claimed to be a savage and started to seek for simpler ways of life than that of a head of a wealthy family in Paris.
Conclusion
Gauguin might enjoy a colorful, basic design, providing a large quantity of light both for the painting studio and for the other spaces. Privacy is also essential.
