Sculpture

Jean Gauguin was a Danish sculptor.

Gauguin studied art on trips to Greece in 1905 and Paris in 1908 and later. From 1910 he worked with wood sculpture, but also executed vividly moving bronze statuettes, including Two seated women (1914) in the National Museum, Oslo. Hans Bokser (1921) attracted attention with his strict, powerful form. Particularly in ceramics, his imagination and fine sense of materials found expression, both in the unglazed chamotte, with which he broke through at the World Exhibition in Paris 1925, Europe's Abduction, the decorative porcelain fountains Mermaid and Mermaid at Ordrupgaard (1928) and Sea Horse in Østerbro swimming hall (1932). . From 1923 he worked for Bing & Grøndahl.

He was the son of the French painter Paul Gauguin.
