Gauguin, Paul

Paul Gauguin fled what he called “filthy Europe” in 1891 to what he hoped would be an unspoiled paradise, Tahiti. He painted 66 magnificent can vases during the first two years he spent there and kept notes from which he later wrote Noa Noa — a journal recording his thoughts and impressions of that time.

 

“Though you may quarrel with Gauguin tactics or motivations, his art stands alone–brilliant, moving, subtle. It is always intriguing to hear the voice of a master painter and “Noa, Noa,” affords that opportunity.” — reviewed by Stephanie Rose Bird.
