Bag om The Letters Of Paul Gauguin To Georges Daniel De Monfreid (1922)

The Letters of Paul Gauguin to Georges Daniel de Monfreid is a collection of personal letters written by the renowned French post-impressionist artist Paul Gauguin to his friend and fellow artist Georges Daniel de Monfreid. The letters were originally written in French and were compiled and translated into English by Charles R. Flint and published in 1922. The letters cover a period of approximately three years, from 1899 to 1901, during which Gauguin was living in the South Pacific, primarily in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands. They provide a unique insight into Gauguin's personal life, his artistic process, and his views on art, culture, and society. Throughout the letters, Gauguin expresses his frustration with the European art world and his desire to break free from its conventions and embrace a more primitive and authentic form of expression. He also discusses his relationships with the local people, his struggles with illness and poverty, and his attempts to establish himself as a successful artist in the South Pacific. The letters are filled with vivid descriptions of Gauguin's surroundings, including the lush tropical landscapes, the vibrant colors and patterns of the local textiles, and the exotic customs and traditions of the Polynesian people. They also reveal a deeply introspective and philosophical side of Gauguin, as he grapples with the meaning of life, art, and his own place in the world. Overall, The Letters of Paul Gauguin to Georges Daniel de Monfreid offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and provides valuable insights into the cultural and artistic landscape of the South Pacific at the turn of the century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
