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 letters written by the French artist Paul Gauguin to his friend and fellow artist Georges Daniel de Monfreid. The letters were written between 1892 and 1902, during Gauguin's travels to Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. In these letters, Gauguin discusses his artistic process, his views on art and culture, and his experiences living among the indigenous people of the South Pacific. He also discusses his personal life, including his relationships with women and his struggles with poverty and illness. The letters provide a fascinating glimpse into Gauguin's mind and offer insights into the motivations behind his art. They also offer a unique perspective on the cultural and social context of the South Pacific in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This edition of the book was first published in 1922, and includes an introduction by de Monfreid, as well as a selection of Gauguin's sketches and drawings. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
