Gauguin, Self Portrait
Paul Gauguin was a struggling Post-Impressionist artist. On 11 January 1892 he married a 13-year-old Tahitian girl. You might say this marriage made him a bigamist because he was still married to his first wife Mette (nee Gad) until his death in 1903 of syphilis. There is little online information of his marriage to the Tahitian girl. It is interesting to note that Gauguin became a celebrated artist but in his personal life he tended to enjoy seamier practices and habits than what was considered the norm.
