Paul Gauguin

In 1873, he married a Danish woman, Mette-Sophie Gad (1850-1920). Over the next ten years, they had five children: Émile (1874-1955); Aline (1877-1897); Clovis (1879-1900); Jean René (1881-1961); and Paul Rollon (1883-1961). Gauguin outlived two of his children; his favorite daughter Aline died of pneumonia and his son Clovis died of a blood infection following a hip operation. Emile Gauguin worked as a construction engineer in the U.S. and is buried in Lemon Bay Historical Cemetery, in Florida. Jean René became a well-known sculptor and a staunch socialist. He died on 21 April 1961 in Copenhagen. Pola (Paul Rollon) became an artist and art critic and wrote a memoir, My Father, Paul Gauguin (1937). Gauguin had several children by his mistresses: Germaine (born 1891) with Juliette Huais (1866-1955); Emile Marae a Tai (born 1899) with Pau'ura; and a daughter (born 1902) with Mari-Rose. There is some speculation that the Belgian artist Germaine Chardon was Gauguin's daughter. Emile Marae a Tai, illiterate and raised in Tahiti, was brought to Chicago by French journalist Josette Giraud in 1963 and became an artist of note.

His earliest known drawings are from 1871, when Gauguin was 23. He started painting soon after this.

No, but in a way, yes. He was worried that Gauguin would leave him, so he confronted Gauguin with a razor blade. He didn't want him to die, so he fled himself.

He had five.

Van Gogh had left for Arles in the hopes of turning it into an artists' haven and had convinced Gauguin to join him. Vincent had spent all the money his brother Theo had given him on art supplies, so when Gauguin arrived he was in a malnourished state. Still, the men got on, working well together but frequently having arguments about art and techniques. As the weather worsened they were forced to stay indoors with each other for longer and longer periods of time and their arguments worsened. Vincent's mental state declined, possibly due to cabin fever, possibly due to poor nutrition, possibly due to stress relating to his generally failed attempt at creating an artists' community. Probably all three combined with a personality that tended to the over zealous.
