Private Life Of A Masterpiece - Goya's 3rd Of May 1808 »

Description

Tamari No Atua (God's Child) by Paul Gauguin.
"And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes. In a radical re-imagining of the familiar nativity scene, Paul Gauguin's masterpiece, Te Tamari No Atua (Nativity), portrays the Madonna lying exhausted on a bed: blunt- featured, dark-skinned and stocky, easily recognisable to everyone on Tahiti as Gauguin's 14-year-old pregnant mistress. The painting found no buyer and received no favourable review during the artist's lifetime. The Nazis later condemned Gauguin "with his combination of the sacred, the profane and the profoundly mysterious" as degenerate. This unmissable programme - a masterpiece of informed and self-effacing television - describes the meeting of cultures that produced one of the central images for our times.
