Painting Description
''Noa Noa'' is a travelogue written by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. The title, which means "fragrant" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's experiences in the South Pacific, particularly his time spent in Tahiti from 1891 to 1893. The manuscript was intended as a commentary and explanation of his paintings and as a critique of Western society, juxtaposed with his idealization of Tahitian culture.
Gauguin wrote ''Noa Noa'' following his first trip to Tahiti, aiming to capture the essence of the culture he encountered and to provide a narrative to accompany and elucidate his artworks. The text is a blend of autobiographical elements, travel notes, and philosophical musings, infused with a romanticized view of Tahitian life. Gauguin's writing is characterized by a poetic and sometimes mystical tone, as he sought to escape the materialism and moral constraints of European society.
The manuscript was initially drafted with the help of the French Symbolist poet Charles Morice, who contributed to its literary style and structure. However, the extent of Morice's involvement has been a subject of debate among scholars. ''Noa Noa'' was not published in Gauguin's lifetime; the first edition appeared in 1901, several years after the artist's death.
''Noa Noa'' is significant not only for its insights into Gauguin's art and philosophy but also for its role in shaping the myth of the "noble savage" and the Western perception of Polynesia. The text has been both praised for its evocative portrayal of Tahiti and criticized for its colonial and exoticized perspective. It remains a controversial yet pivotal document for understanding Gauguin's life, his artistic journey, and the broader context of European engagement with indigenous cultures during the late 19th century.
