An Artist's Diary
9.99 €
When the name of Paul Gauguin is mentioned, we first of all see numerous oceanic canvases with nature permeated by the heat of the sun, with firmly cut Tahitians and Tahitians, as if growing their large, slightly clumsy feet into the hot earth. Why in this earthly paradise, in which the brush of the artist has not found a single dark spot, his life ended in poverty and grief? And what led to this strange, fabulous world of the painter, whom we call French, despite the fact that almost all of his creative life was associated with the islands of Oceania?
These questions can be answered by the epistolary and literary legacy, which remained after the artist's death and which is a kind of commentary on his vast oeuvre. These texts are the key to understanding both the complex creative path taken by Gauguin and his personal human destiny, full of storms and upheavals. This edition includes selected letters from Gauguin to his wife, to artists (E. Bernard, M. Dennes, D. de Montfred and others), to writers and musicians with whom he had friendly or business relations, as well as his autobiographical book Noah Noah and excerpts from Before and After, written in Oceania shortly before his death.
