He was also an influential practitioner of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms. While only moderately successful during his lifetime, Gauguin has since been recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Leading a life full of hardship and struggle, Gauguin would move frequently in search of financial success and security, marrying and forming relationships with females of various ages (roughly age 13 and above) - an "unexceptional" occurrence in context.&lt;ref&gt;Susan Tallman, [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/07/paul-gauguin-sue-prideaux-wild-thing-review/682895/ How to Look at Paul Gauguin] (''The Atlantic'', May 30th, 2025).&lt;/ref&gt; His sexual relationships with teenage Tahitian girls have become the subject of great interest, with his <ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">15</ins>-year-old wife [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merahi_metua_no_Tehamana Teha'amana] being the subject of several of Gauguin's paintings, including the celebrated [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_the_Dead_Watching ''Spirit of the Dead Watching''].</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="−"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #ffe49c; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>In the 21st century, Gauguin's Primitivist representations of Tahiti and its people have been a subject of debate and renewed scholarly attention.

Sexually experienced girls were offered by their families. No money changed hands. After a couple of weeks, the girl went home to her family for a period, to decide if she then wanted to go back to her new husband. Tehamana returned to Gauguin. There was no coercion. She, like Gauguin’s later lovers, was free to come and go, to return home for good if she liked, and to take other lovers.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">There was no financial advantage in staying: Gauguin in his beach hut was no richer than the average villager.
