The Little will screen Gauguin a Tahiti. Il paradiso perduto (Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost, Claudio Poli, Italy 2019, 88 min.) as part of the Great Art on Screen series.

In 1891 Gauguin left Marseille for the Pacific, marking the beginning of a journey towards the essence of life and art, and forging his destiny as one of the greatest modern painters who ever lived.

Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost will take us on the trail of a story that has become myth. Through Tahiti and Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, we will experience the landscapes that inspired Gauguin, in the places where he built houses with bamboo and leaves, and discovered light and colours which changed his painting forever.
