Midwest Book Review
Modern artist Gauguin's journals, completed during his final years, appears in a fine reprint from a rare edition to provide Gauguin scholars with the painter's own thoughts and life. Surprisingly witty and revealing, these writings should appeal to any with even a casual interest in Gauguin's life or art.
Book Description
Revealing documents, reprinted from rare, limited edition, throw much light on the painter’s inner life, his tumultuous relationship with van Gogh, evaluations of Degas, Monet, and other artists; hatred of hypocrisy and sham, life in the Marquesas Islands, much more. Twenty-seven full-page illustrations by Gauguin. Preface by Emil Gauguin.
