An original study of Gauguins writings unfolding their central role in his artistic practice and negotiation of colonial identity As a French artist who lived in Polynesia Paul Gauguin 18481903 occupies a crucial position in histories of European primitivism This is the first book devoted to his wideranging literary output which included journalism travel writing art criticism and essays on aesthetics religion and politics It analyzes his original manuscripts some of which are richly illustrated reinstating them as an integral component of his art The seemingly haphazard collagelike structure of Gauguins manuscripts enabled him to evoke the primitive culture that he celebrated while rejecting the style of establishment critics Gauguins writing was also a strategy for articulating a position on the margins of both the colonial and the indigenous communities in Polynesia he sought to protect Polynesian society from civilization but remained implicated in the imperialist culture that he denounced This critical analysis of his writings significantly enriches our understanding of the complexities of artistic encounters in the French colonial context
