'''Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin''' ({{IPA-fr|øʒɛn ɑ̃ʁi pɔl ɡoɡɛ̃}}; 7 June 1848&nbsp;– 8 May 1903) was a leading French [[Post-Impressionism|Post-Impressionist]] artist. He was an important figure in the [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolist]] movement as a painter, sculptor, print-maker, ceramist, and writer. His bold experimentation with coloring led directly to the [[Synthetism|Synthetist]] style of [[modern art]] while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings{{what?}}, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to [[Primitivism]] and the return to the [[pastoral]]. He was also an influential proponent of wood [[engraving]] and [[woodcut]]s as art forms.<ref>[http://rubens.anu.edu.au/htdocs/surveys/prints/bysubject/display00087.html Prints by Paul Gauguin], ArtServe: Australian National University</ref><ref>[http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/woodcut+and+wood+engraving Woodcut and Wood Engraving], The Free Dictionary</ref>
