"Le Sourire" (The Smile) is a journal created by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin during his first trip to Tahiti. The journal, which spans from 1892 to 1893, is a richly illustrated manuscript that offers a glimpse into Gauguin's thoughts, experiences, and artistic processes during this period. It combines narrative text with sketches, drawings, and watercolors, reflecting Gauguin's immersion in the culture and landscapes of Tahiti, as well as his evolving artistic style.

The journal is significant for its blend of art and literature, as Gauguin sought to capture the essence of Tahitian life and his own personal reflections. "Le Sourire" serves as a crucial document for understanding Gauguin's departure from European artistic conventions and his quest for a more primal and direct form of expression. The journal's content reveals Gauguin's complex relationship with Tahitian culture, oscillating between idealization and critique, and his struggle with the consequences of colonialism.

"Le Sourire" is also notable for its influence on Gauguin's later works, as many of the themes and motifs explored in the journal would recur in his subsequent paintings. The journal remains an important resource for scholars and admirers of Gauguin's work, providing insight into the artist's inner world and his pursuit of a new artistic language that sought to transcend the boundaries of Western art traditions.

As an artifact, "Le Sourire" has been the subject of exhibitions and scholarly study, offering a unique perspective on Gauguin's time in Tahiti and his contributions to the Symbolist movement. The journal's pages are a testament to Gauguin's innovative approach to art-making, blending text and image to create a multifaceted narrative that continues to captivate audiences and researchers alike.
