Summary

(Lecteur, sous les yeux de qui l'oeuvre tahitienne de Paul Gauguin passa peut-etre inapercue tant on a peu de temps, a Paris et ailleurs, pour penser a soi, a son propre developpement, a ses plus profitables plaisirs! elle est la, je t'y ramene: le point de vue est en elle, des songeries que voici.) Dans ces toiles gonflees encore des souffles lointains qui nous les apporterent, vivantes d'une vie a la fois elementaire et fastueuse, c'est la serenite de l'atmosphere qui donne a la vision sa profondeur, c'est la simplification des lignes qui projette les formes dans l'infini, c'est du mystere que l'intarissable lumiere, en le designant, irradie, revelant: une race.

In 1894, Paul Gauguin came to the conclusion that European culture in general, and French culture in particular, was spiritually and morally bankrupt. So he left. On the eighth of June 1894 he arrived in Tahiti, an island of tropical warmth, impenetrable jungles, and--most importantly for Gauguin--unspoiled, undecadent, un-European, and extremely beautiful people.He luxuriated in this paradise for two years, producing some of this best and best-known paintings. But Gauguin left us another masterpiece that has languished in obscurity until now: his journal and the woodblocks he made to accompany it.
