PAINTER SON OF GAUGIN
[By SUSAN VAUGHAN] Two years ago, Josette Giraud, an attractive Frenchwoman in her thirties, went to the South Sea island of Tahiti for a holiday. She had a look at all the usual sights, the waving palms, the rolling breakers, the native villages—and Emile Gauguin, the half-cast son of Paul Gauguin who threw up a safe job in Paris commerce to paint. Emile, who was then 62, had been an object of tourist curiosity. A large part of his meagre income came from the tips of tourists who photographed him. Emile has turned out to be a painter of great talent, with an imaginative sense of colour and a strong feeling for composition. Madame Giraud has become Emile’s agemt and now has a much-admired show of his work in London.—(All Rights Reserved.)
