中文简介：

这是第一本由丹麦作家撰写的深度传记，讨论了被誉为早期现代主义最重要人物之一的高更，以及他的作品和道德所引发的争议。特别是在#MeToo运动揭示了高更与青春期女孩的关系以及他在法属波利尼西亚殖民主义中的角色之后，对他的讨论仍然具有现实意义。

该出版物分享了关于高更新的见解，探讨了他作为一个艺术家和人的复杂性格，并挑战我们对于他生活和工作的传统观念。弗莱明·弗里博格（Flemming Friborg）讲述了高更丰富的故事，包括他作为印象派的一部分，但同时也将自己与之区分开来的经历。书中展示了他的方法和道德是如何被束缚在一个精心维护的个人品牌中的，因此大师和怪物必须被看作是不可分割的，这也导致了高更作为天才艺术家的遗产和地位仍然存在争议。

Hailed as one of the most significant figures of early Modernism and at the same time condemned for his work and his morals – the discussion about Gauguin, his art and his character is still relevant today. Especially at a time where #MeToo is shedding new light on Gauguin's relationship with adolescent girls and his share in colonialism in French Polynesia.

Gauguin – The Master, the Monster and the Myth is the first in-depth biography about the artist written by a Danish writer. The publication shares new insights about Gauguin – about his complex character as an artist and a human being. It challenges the traditional ideas we have about his life and work. Flemming Friborg unfolds the fascinating story about Gauguin's life and the millieu of Impressionism that he was a part of but also at the same time distinguishing himself from. The book shows how his method and moral was bound in a carefully maintained, personal brand and therefore the master and the monster must be seen as inseparable – and therefore, as a result of this, Gaugain's legacy and status as a genius artist remains unclear.
