Features: In the history of Western art, Paul Gauguin is one of the most solitary artists, and his rebellious paintings express this solitude. His letters to his wife and friends reveal this solitude. The letters collected in this book present a complete picture of Gauguin—a "barbarian" full of doubt about civilization, an apostle filled with inner pain, yearning for understanding, and desperately seeking the truth of art—a martyr who suffered in poverty until his quiet death.
