French artist once calling Tahiti home (7)

I believe the answer is:

gauguin

(Other definitions for gauguin that I've seen before include "Tahiti-based French artist" , "Paul -, French artist who worked in the Pacific" , "(Tahiti) French painter" , "French painter who worked in the South Pacific" , "Paul -, French Post-Impressionist painter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
