=== Children === Gauguin outlived three of his children; his favorite daughter Aline died of pneumonia, his son Clovis died of a blood infection following a hip operation,<ref name=swain1965>Harrison Swain "Emile Gauguin Honor Guest at Artists' Ball" in ''[[The Evening Independent]]'', 26 January 1965, p. 15.</ref> and a daughter, whose birth was portrayed in Gauguin's painting of 1896 ''[[Te tamari no atua]]'', the child of Gauguin's young Tahitian mistress, Pau'ura, died only a few days after her birth on Christmas Day 1896.<ref name=1896birth>{{cite AV media |year=2006 |title= God's Child: Private Life of a Masterpiece |url=http://ffh.films.com/ecTitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=33301 |format=FLV |publisher=BBC |isbn=978-0-8160-9539-1 |ref= BVL57644 |series=[[The Private Life of a Masterpiece]]}}</ref> His son, Émile Gauguin, worked as a construction engineer in the U.S. and is buried in Lemon Bay Historical Cemetery, in Florida. Another son, [[Jean René Gauguin|Jean René]], became a well-known sculptor and a staunch socialist. He died on 21 April 1961 in Copenhagen. [[Pola Gauguin|Pola]] (Paul Rollon) became an artist and art critic and wrote a memoir, ''My Father, Paul Gauguin'' (1937). Gauguin had several other children by his mistresses: Germaine (born 1891) with Juliette Huais (1866–1955); Émile Marae a Tai (born 1899) with Pau'ura; and a daughter (born 1902) with Vaeoho (Marie-Rose). There is some speculation that the Belgian artist, Germaine Chardon, was Gauguin's daughter. Emile Marae a Tai, [[illiterate]] and raised in Tahiti by Pau'ura, was brought to Chicago in 1963 by the French journalist Josette Giraud and was an artist in his own right, his descendants still living in Tahiti as of 2001.<ref name=swain1965 />{{sfn|Mathews|2001|p=213}}
