description In seeking to expend the sensorium of art history, it is interesting to note that an engagement with the sense of smell was prevalent in a number of artists' writings prior to the actual creation of olfactory artworks. Despite its presumed marginality, scent was a preoccupation for a number of artists, and was integrated into the major trajectories of modern art, even ones dominated by painting and sculpture. This article examines the writings and works of one prominent artist from the modern era, Paul Gauguin, to explore the precedents for contemporary olfactory aesthetics.
