Gauguin's great diary from Tahiti almost never saw the light of day
in its original form. The manuscript was sent by the artist from
his island refuge to his friend Charles Morice in Paris, and
published in 1901 with immediate success, under the two names of
Paul Gauguin and Charles Morice. Morice, with Gauguin's permission,
had 'edited' and enlarged it to make it more readable. How much of
the charm and crispness of the manuscript had been lost in the
process was anyone's guess. It was to be 40 years before Gauguin's
original version came to light, and it is published here in a
translation by the poet Jonathan Griffin, together with a detailed
description by the art historian Jean Loize, who re-discovered the
manuscript. Loize shows that Morice had in parts altered Gauguin's
text beyond recognition - a startling discovery that entirely
changed ideas about Gauguin's style and intentions. This genuine
version of Noa-Noa is not only an important document, it is also a
beautiful piece of writing: amusing, acid, wide-eyed, moving.
Gauguin feared that, unedited, it would seem absurdly crude; and no
doubt it would have, to most readers in his day. Today we can
appreciate its sketch form, jerky directness, authentic freshness.
This edition is illustrated with the watercolours, wood-engravings
and drawings that Gauguin assembled for the book.
Depicts the experiences of the French artist while living on a
Polynesian island and discusses the culture of the natives of the
island.
First Published in 1985. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor and
Francis, an informa company.

"Gaugin's original illustrations are attractively rendered in
black-line cartoon style with splotches of light green, royal blue,
aquamarine, pumpkin, and mustard. The book's appealing cover will
engage children, and the poems might prompt them to create their
own silly rhymes.-School Library Journal, starred review. The
combination of handwritten, informal verse and Paul Rene Gauguin's
avant garde illustrations has proven to be an irresistible and
endlessly delightful combination for children and adults alike.
Alive with sound, shape, and color, Hagerup's children's poems are
still known by heart by every Norwegian child and collections of
her poetry can be found on every child''s bookshelf.
One of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists and a founding figure of modern art, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) incorporated the influences of many cultures into his work. He pioneered an appreciation of the simple and primitive, traveling to Martinique, Tahiti, and the Marquesas Islands for inspiration. The artist's legacy is recalled in this excellent collection of 16 Gauguin masterpieces, painstakingly reproduced in sticker format. Included are Where are You Going?, Self-Portrait with Halo, Woman with a Fan, Still Life with Teapot and Fruit, Spirit of the Dead Watching, Reverie, and 10 others.
The life of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) is one of the richest and most
mythic in the history of Western art. Abandoning a career in
banking, a family and his homeland, in the last decade of the
nineteenth century he sailed from France to the South Seas to seek
a life "in ecstasy, in peace and for art." During his years in
Tahiti, Gauguin brought forth a wealth of astonishing paintings,
culminating in this monumental meditation on what he called the
"ever-present riddle" of human existence posed in the work's title.
This compact introduction to Gauguin's masterpiece explores its
relation to European models as well as to the artist's own
companion pieces.

Following last season's Little Parsley, this new Hagerup volume was
first published in Norway in 1971. At the time, it was a literary
scandal for offering free verse to children, who were best suited,
as the critics claimed, to the orderly rhymes of established poetic
forms. Time and the inherently free and wild forms of youthful
imagination have proven the critics completely wrong. Gorgeously
illustrated by Paul Rene Gauguin, with his most antic line, as well
as hand lettered, and playfully translated by Beck Crook, this
collection of Hagerup poems is pure pleasure.
