''Noa Noa'' is a travelogue written by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. The title, which means "fragrant" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's experiences in the South Pacific, particularly in Tahiti, where he first arrived in 1891. The text is a blend of autobiography, ethnography, and mythology, and it was intended to provide a context for Gauguin's Tahitian paintings and to defend and explain his departure from Western artistic and moral conventions.

Gauguin began writing ''Noa Noa'' shortly after his return to France in 1893, as a commentary to accompany an exhibition of his Tahitian works. The manuscript was meant to serve as a voice for the paintings, which were often misunderstood by the European audience. Gauguin's writing style is poetic and evocative, rich with descriptions of the Tahitian landscape, culture, and the artist's personal experiences and reflections. He also delves into his artistic process and the symbolism in his work, which was heavily influenced by Tahitian mythology and the island's natural environment.

The text of ''Noa Noa'' was not published during Gauguin's lifetime. It was first printed in 1901, after his death, and has since been subject to scrutiny and debate among scholars. Some question the authenticity of the events described, suggesting that Gauguin may have embellished or fictionalized aspects of his narrative to create a more exotic and primitivist account of his time in Tahiti. Despite these controversies, ''Noa Noa'' remains an important document for understanding Gauguin's art and his contribution to the Primitivism movement in European art.

The work is also notable for its influence on European perceptions of Polynesian culture and the primitivist fantasy it helped to construct. ''Noa Noa'' has been both celebrated for its lyrical quality and artistic insights, and criticized for its colonialist perspective and romanticization of the "noble savage" trope. Today, ''Noa Noa'' is studied not only as a source of information about Gauguin's life and work but also as a historical document reflecting the complex cultural interactions of the colonial era.
