description: Red Dogs and Pink Skies is a full color, sumptuously designed book exploring Paul Gauguin’s ideas about painting and music. A CD of original music, composed by Bruce Adolphe and inspired by Gauguin’s work and ideas, is included. Adolphe and Polenghi, composer and painter, have created an accessible, engaging, and thought-provoking testament to Gauguin in music, images, and text, replete with quotes from Gauguin’s writings, and enhanced by a timeline highlighting events in the artist’s life in the context of music, science, literature, politics, and daily life. The book is filled with borders and background designs derived from elements that can be found in Gauguin’s paintings. Together, the music and book celebrate the relationship of painting to music.
