Noa Noa

Paul Gauguin, Claire Moran, Charles Morice, Modern Humanities Research Association

"Noa Noa is one of the best examples of a nineteenth-century artist's book. Part-travelogue, part-autobiography and rich in imagery, it sealed Gauguin's reputation as a painter of the tropics. This edition brings the original co-authored text of Noa Noa to the public, allowing a new interpretation of Gauguin to emerge. ... Noa Noa is followed by a first print edition of the Manuscrit tiré du Livres des métier de Vehbi-Zumbul Zadi, an artistic treatise, penned by Gauguin."--Back cover.
