Painting by Charles FiligerA close friend of Gauguin was Charles Filiger whose paintings of farm boys and Christ figures 'attests to his struggle with homosexuality and religion.' (glbtq >> arts >> Symbolists)
In Brittany, Gauguin also painted boys, often naked boys.
In Paris, in 1887, Paul Gauguin met Vincent van Gogh.
There has been speculation that Vincent felt sexually attracted towards Paul Gauguin.
Paul Gauguin is said to have flirted with Van Gogh, but to have preferred much younger men. (Paul Gauguin's erotic life - Page 3 - Salon.com)
By 1888, Gauguin and Vincent were living in Arles, in the South of France.
The same year, Vincent's friendship with Paul Gauguin came to a sudden end, and Vincent cut off part of his left ear.
In 1891, Gauguin sailed to the tropics (Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands) to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional."
In 1903, "due to a problem with the church and the government", he was sentenced to three months in prison, and charged a fine. At that time he was being supported by the art dealer Ambroise Vollard[4] He died of syphilis before he could start the prison sentence. His body had been weakened by alcohol and a dissipated life. He was 54 years old.
