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.

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.
