LONDON (REUTERS).- French painter Paul Gauguin gets his first major exhibition in Britain for over 50 years this week, and early reviews suggest it was worth the wait. Two newspapers have given the show five stars, including the Times’ Rachel Campbell-Johnston who described “Gauguin: Maker of Myth” at London’s Tate Modern gallery “the show of the year.” Organizers say they have come up with a “fresh and compelling” look at the master of modern art, concentrating on his approach to storytelling and how myths and fables were central to his work. “Gauguin is an artist who created his own persona and established his own myth as to what kind of a man he was,” Tate director Nicholas Serota said in an introduction to the show. “That is highly relevant when you come to think about an artist like Damien Hirst, or even Gilbert and George … it is something that seems very current.”
