The Moon and Sixpence is based on the work of which painter?

The Moon and Sixpence is based on the life of French impressionist painter paul gauguin. It describes an ordinary London stockbroker, strickland, who suddenly became obsessed with art, abandoned his wife and children, abandoned a life that others thought was rich and happy, went to Tahiti in the South Pacific, wrote his brilliant life with a mellow pen, and injected all the value of life into a gorgeous canvas.
