PAUL GAUGUIN (1897): “D’où Venons Nous / Que Sommes Nous / Où Allons Nous.” (Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?). A central question for Gauguin, asked in his remarkable and haunting painting by the same title owned by the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. And a central question for many biologists.
