The life of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), who abandoned his wife, five
children, and a successful career as a stockbroker to paint in
poverty in exotic Tahiti, is one of the legendary tales of the art
world. Today he is recognized as a highly influential founding
father of modern art, who emphasized the use of flat planes and
bright, nonnaturalistic color in conjunction with symbolic or
primitive subjects. Familiarity with Gauguin the writer is
essential for a complete understanding of the artist. "The Writings
of a Savage" collects the very best of his letters, articles,
books, and journals, many of which are unavailable elsewhere. In
brilliantly lucid discussions of life and art Gauguin paints a
triumphant self-portrait of a volcanic artist and the tormented man
within.
