Noa Noa - Paul Gauguin
A fully illustrated facsimile of Gauguin's Tahiti diary, in French, with brilliant colour plates & an English translation by John Donne. Bound in coarse cloth with a colour paste-down on the front.
Paul Gauguin’s first trip to Tahiti in 1891 yielded some of his most famous paintings. It also conjured for him extraordinary sensations: perfumes, colours, chants… Although well-used to trips to remote places, the painter was dazzled and attempted to capture some of these emotions in manuscript form. This extraordinary manuscript, at once legendary, long lost then found and subject to many adventures, is: the famous Noa Noa.
