On this day

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French Post-Impressionist artist who was not well appreciated until after his death. Gauguin was later recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin’s art became popular after his death; partially from the efforts of art dealer Ambroise Vollard who organized exhibitions of his work late in his career, as well as assisting in organizing two important posthumous exhibitions in Paris. Many of his paintings were in the possession of Russian collector Sergei Shchukin as well as other important collections.

The project is implemented under the “Knowledge and Growth” Programme of Ruse Free Spirit City Foundation, supported with Econt Foundation.

The project idea envisages: purchase of specialised equipment and creating a Virtual and Augmented Reality Laboratory at “Baba Tonka” Secondary School of Mathematics, design and implementation of virtual and augmented reality applications in cooperation with the business community, as well as conducting public courses and training seminars with the participation of Ruse students. The seminars will include the following topics: Digitalisation of objects, 3D printing and additive technologies and creation of virtual and augmented reality applications.

The main project objective is development, creation and promotion of innovative virtual and augmented reality applications, which will contribute to the preservation and promotion of the cultural and historical heritage.
