Noa Noa: Voyage to Tahiti

The personal fate of the famous French artist Paul Gauguin is inextricably linked to his painting, and painting was for him an aesthetic realization of his life ideals. In 1891, the artist fled the so-called “dirty Europe” to Tahiti, which, as he hoped, would open to him an untouched paradise. During the two years he spent there, he created several magnificent paintings. But in addition to that, he created another masterpiece—“Noa-Noa,” a confessional book as seductive as his canvases, filled with descriptions of warm seas, hidden lagoons, lush green forests, and beautiful Maori women.
