Painting Description
"Noa Noa" is a travelogue written by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin during his first trip to Tahiti. The manuscript, which was penned around 1893, was intended as a commentary and an explanation of his paintings from that period. The title "Noa Noa," which translates to "fragrant" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's attempt to capture the essence and the perceived exoticism of the Tahitian culture and landscape, which he felt were deeply misunderstood by his European audience.
The text of "Noa Noa" is a blend of autobiographical narrative, local mythology, and Gauguin's reflections on the conflicts between the colonizers and the colonized, as well as his own artistic and spiritual quests. Gauguin initially intended the manuscript to be a counter-narrative to the negative reception his Tahitian works received in Europe, and he sought to provide a context that would offer a deeper understanding of his artistic vision.
Gauguin collaborated with the Symbolist poet Charles Morice to refine and edit the manuscript, aiming to enhance its literary quality. Despite this collaboration, the text was not published until 1901, several years after its completion, and it was first serialized in "La Revue Blanche," a French artistic and literary magazine. The publication of "Noa Noa" provided a broader audience with insights into Gauguin's experiences in Tahiti and his perspective on the cultural and personal transformations that influenced his work during this period.
The manuscript is also significant for its role in shaping the Western perception of Tahiti as an idyllic paradise, an image that has been both romanticized and criticized in subsequent interpretations. "Noa Noa" remains a valuable document for understanding Gauguin's artistic journey and the complexities of cultural encounter in the context of European colonialism in the late 19th century.
