Profile
French post-impressionist artist Paul Gauguin was an important figure in the Symbolist art movement of the early 1900's. His use of bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts in his paintings set him apart from his contemporaries, helping pave the way for the Primitivism art movement. Gauguin often sought exotic environments and spent time living and painting in Tahiti.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
View groupTruth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.
