"Noa Noa" is a seminal travelogue and artistic manifesto authored by the French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin. Written between 1893 and 1894, the work chronicles Gauguin's first trip to Tahiti, where he sought to escape European civilization and immerse himself in what he perceived to be a more primal and unspoiled culture. The title "Noa Noa," which translates to "Fragrant" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's romanticized vision of the island as a paradise imbued with sensual and exotic allure.

The text of "Noa Noa" is a blend of diary entries, narrative prose, and poetic musings, interspersed with Gauguin's own woodcut prints and sketches. It serves not only as a travel diary but also as an exploration of Gauguin's philosophical and artistic ideals. Through vivid descriptions and introspective commentary, Gauguin delves into his experiences with the local people, their customs, and the natural beauty of the island. His writing reveals a complex interplay between admiration for Tahitian culture and the imposition of his own Western ideals and fantasies.

"Noa Noa" was initially intended to accompany an exhibition of Gauguin's Tahitian paintings, providing context and enhancing the viewer's understanding of his work. However, the manuscript underwent several revisions and was not published in its entirety until after Gauguin's death. The work has since become a crucial document for understanding Gauguin's artistic evolution and his quest for authenticity and originality.

Critics and scholars have examined "Noa Noa" for its ethnographic content, its reflection of colonial attitudes, and its role in shaping the myth of the artist as a solitary genius in search of a lost Eden. Despite its controversial aspects, "Noa Noa" remains a key text in the study of Gauguin's life and oeuvre, offering valuable insights into the mind of one of the most influential figures in modern art.
