121-year-old Gauguin lithographs on display

A set of 11 lithographs made by Paul Gauguin for a show in Paris 121 years ago are the focus of an exhibit running in Amsterdam on the French post-impressionist painter's career.

"The 1889 exhibition was a crucial one for Gauguin, in many ways it was a catalyst for his later body of work," says Maartje de Haan, curator of the Van Gogh Museum.

The collection of prints, dubbed the Volpini Suite, was put on display with the works of other artists like Charles Laval, Emile Bernard and Louis Anquetin at a certain Mr Volpini's Cafe des Arts in 1889.
