Paul Gauguin Catalogue Raisonné
In collaboration with the Wildenstein Plattner Institute, Inc. (WPI), O’Donnell Institute Founding Director Richard R. Brettell headed research for the multi-volume catalogue raisonné of the artist Paul Gauguin.
In concert with the catalogue raisonné project and in collaboration with Richard R. Brettell and the Wildenstein Plattner Institute, Inc. (WPI) in New York, Elpida Vouitsis has translated for the first time into English all of Gauguin’s books: Ancien culte mahorie (1891-92), Cahier pour Aline (1893), the first draft of Noanoa (1893), Noanoa (1893-94), Diverses choses (1896-January 1898), L'Esprit moderne et le catholicisme (1902), Racontars de rapin (September 1902), and Avant et après (January-February 1903).
In collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, Vouitsis also translated into English all of Gauguin’s correspondence between 1879 and 1903 related to the artist’s materials and techniques.
