Disappointed by the transformations of the small town occupied by more and more foreigners between his first stay 1891 and the new one he decided to move 13 kilometers away from the capital to settle as close as possible to nature in Punaauia. It is here that his new traditional Tahitian hut made of bamboo and palm leaves was built with the help of the locals and which he describes here in detail.</p><p>He also evokes without naming her Teha'amana a very young girl whom he married during his first stay she was then 13 years old but meanwhile the painter's absence between 1893 and 1895 married another man Ma'ari. When he arrived in the autumn of 1895 Gauguin waved at her she became his vahinée again. The romance lasted only a week during which Gauguin boasted of having "cuckolded" the said Ma'ari: "<i>My former wife married in my absence and I was forced to cuckold her husband</i>."The painter refrains to say that Teha'amana was horrified by the syphilitic wounds covering her legs. She ran away and returned to her Ma'ari.</p><p>From then on Gauguin enjoyed more than ever the pleasures of the flesh spent without counting and multiplied the adventures with "<i>wild girls</i>".The painter is already at a loss barely two months after his installation: "<i>As always when I feel money in my pocket and hopes I spend without counting relying on the future and my talent then I quickly become broke</i>".He married Pau'Ura a few months later to get out of this "<i>life of couch potato to take a serious woman at home</i>" as he writes.</p><p>If the first Tahitian period 1891-1893 reflects a discovery of culture it opens with the second on a new approach: "<i>I feel in verve and I believe that I will do better work than before</i>". Gauguin paints a mythical world where Eastern Western and Oceanian religious traditions past and present merge. His paintings are reflections of a world he believes in an ideal world that he stages.</p><p>Gauguin is finally very direct with his correspondent then in the throes of a conflictual divorce: "<i>See what I did with the household I spun without warning. Let my family go crazy on their own because there is only me to help them!!!</i> "Despite the violent remarks he makes towards his family it is obvious that the thought of his children has never left Gauguin. The premature death of his favorite daughter Aline in 1897 will put him in deep of sorrow.</p><p><u>References:</u><i>Lettres de Gauguin à Daniel de Monfreid Crès. 1918 lettre XXGauguin à Tahiti et aux îles Marquises</i> Bengt Danielsson éd. du Pacifique<i>Gauguin.</i> David Haziot Editions Fayard. 2017 p. 620-622</p>

Tahiti août 1896 20.50 x 27 cm quatre pages sur deux feuillets Yes I have sarcasm in my words yes I do not know how to flatter and bend my back how to beg in official salons I am nothing but a braying schemer but if I had submitted - yes I would be comfortable."" Long autograph letter dated August 1896 and signed by Paul Gauguin to painter Daniel de Monfreid. Four pages in black ink on two lined sheets. Small tears to margins not affecting the text traces of folds inherent to sending. In the midst of his descent into hell abandoned in his Tahitian artificial paradise Gauguin feels cursed : Definitely I was born under a bad star. he laments. His quest for primitive freedom leaves him in destitution and misery. Suffering agony the painter sends paintings to one of his few supporters his faithful friend Daniel de Monfreid - but writes the wrong address. Published in Lettres de Paul Gauguin à Georges-Daniel de Monfreid 1918 p. 146 n° XXIII; our letter reveals the name of Émile Schuffenecker his friend and associate on the Paris stock exchange and then Pont-Aven - anonymized in the published version - whom Gauguin vilifies on numerous occasions in these pages. This exceptional missive was written in Tahiti where the painter had returned the previous year bidding a final farewell to the old Europe. Gauguin had just come out from a stay in hospital in Papeete to treat his bruised legs following the beating he had received in Concarneau two years earlier for defending his muse Annah the Javanese. The painter could not escape the aftermath of this altercation and suffered from a terrible purulent eczema on his leg as well as syphilis drowning his torments in alcohol. The letter is a perfect example of Gauguin's correspondence from the summer of 1896 which ""smells of the fever that has seized a mind overheated by pain and lack of sleep"" David Haziot. In his confusion the painter misspelt the address of Monfreid's studio at the Cité Fleurie a famous chalet-like artists' residence where Gauguin had stayed : I sent you a bunch of paintings last month. I'm afraid for them because it seems to me that I put 55 Bd Arago instead of 65 This mailing included his composition Eihaha Ohipa painted in his studio in Punaauia and now kept at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. Shipped via a naval officer - fees to be paid by Monfreid - the paintings did not arrive until November. Beyond his feverish fears Gauguin delivers in these lines a true manifesto of his integrity as an artist - the perfect counterpart to his famous Christlike self-portrait Near Golgotha painted around the same period. To him his destiny and generosity are nothing short of Christ-like: in the most difficult moments of my life I more than shared with unfortunate people and never had any reward other than complete abandonment. He had in fact helped display Schuffenecker's paintings in Impressionist exhibitions saved his friend Laval from suicide and opened his purse to so many others. Instead of returning the favor Schuffenecker prefers to feel sorry for himself: Schuff really wrote me a crazy and unfair letter and I don't know what to answer because he is a sick mind . he would be more unhappy than me who has glory strength and health. Let's talk about it! I'm good at making others jealous he says. Gauguin who had always refused to make concessions and compromise is finally betrayed by one of his closest relations Schuffenecker who becomes in the letter a true Judas Iscariot: Schuff has just made a useless petition I believe for the State to come to my aid. This is the thing that can offend me the most. I'm asking friends to help me out for the time it takes to get back the money I'm owed and their efforts to recover it but begging the State was never my intention. The painter reaches a point of no return not only bruised in his flesh but also unknown

1926157706Berlin: Ganymed Presse for Marees Gesellschaft 1926. Gauguin in Tahiti First edition thus number 22 of 80 copies of the deluxe issue rarely found with the portfolio which includes a previously unpublished original woodcut. This fine facsimile of Gauguin's autobiographical tale of his first two years in Tahiti 1891-3 was based on the Louvre manuscript and "represents an important project in book-making by this major artist" Garvey. Gauguin's arrival in Tahiti coincided with the funeral of Pomare V the last king "a symbolic marker of the demise of 'authentic' Polynesian culture. This overlap is enough to make Noa Noa apparently irresistible as a source of information about his life in Tahiti: through a series of intimate cross-cultural encounters it provides the script of his attempt at 'going native' He may have initially intended the publication of Noa Noa to coincide with the exhibition of his Tahitian work that was held at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris following his return to France in 1893 but it remained incomplete when the exhibition opened in November 1893 At some point before returning definitively to Polynesia in July 1895 Gauguin enlisted Charles Morice who had written the catalogue essay for his exhibition to help develop the project and their collaboration led to the version that is now known as the Louvre manuscript" Goddard pp. 64-8. The conceit was that Gauguin and Morice would alternate chapters although the exact division of labour remains unclear. "What is clear however is that Gauguin did not spend his time passively awaiting Morice's revisions and additions. Instead he began actively to conceive of the text as part of a larger performative project that could serve to promote his image as an artist-savage. During gatherings in his Paris studio whose decorative scheme was in itself a 'visual manifesto' for his primitive persona he gave readings from his work in progress". The present edition had a total print run of 400 copies: 80 specially bound in citron morocco as here the remainder in a raffia binding. A significantly revised version of the text had been published in 1901 followed by another in 1924 although "that gives no sense of the physical appearance of the volume". During the inter-war years the Marees Gesellschaft 1917-1929 was among the finest European fine art printers issuing work by among others Van Gogh Matisse Max Beckmann and Oskar Kokoschka. It was founded "as a collaboration between influential art historian and critic Julius Meier-Graefe and avant-garde publisher Reinhard Piper named after the now largely forgotten German realist painter Hans von Marées 1837-1887 whom Meier-Graefe revered. As a special imprint they issued lavishly produced illustrated books and portfolios" MoMA. Portfolio and large quarto. Portfolio with 14 collotype reproductions of watercolours and original woodcut each with the blind stamp of Ganymed Press on image window-mounted on 13 card leaves. Quarto with many full-page and in-text collotype reproductions of watercolours drawings woodblock prints and photographs. Portfolio: original raffia blue printed label to front stiff card flaps with cloth mounts. Quarto: original citron morocco-grain skiver gilt-lettered spine gilt fillet frame to covers top edge gilt. Portfolio: some flaking of raffia largely to spine toning to flaps: very good. Quarto: signature on front free endpaper of Emil Oberholzer Jr d. 1981 authority on church history.

Here they presented the works of contemporary printmakers next to examples of medieval woodcuts and popular prints known as Épinal.L’Ymagier’s interest in religious Épinal and medieval woodcuts was rooted in a fervent desire to achieve a more authentic form of modern art. For Jarry archetypal Christian symbols such as the Passion and the Virgin Mary possessed universal meaning of continued importance to contemporary artists.This interest in the past was shared by the artists of the School of Pont-Aven who looked to the traditions and rituals of the Breton peasants for creative inspiration.L’Ymagier helped to revive contemporary interest in the woodcut technique for artists like Edvard Munch and Emil Nolde.Juliet Simpson:Remy de Gourmont's and Alfred Jarry's journal L’Ymagier published in eight issues between October 1894 and January 1896. In attempting to create a 'book of symbols' structured explicitly around the image notably the popular image the L’Ymagier project develops the verbal-visual problematic exemplified by the Symbolist 'illustration'. It also raises some very fundamental questions about artistic homologies in general which test Symbolist theories of synthesis to their limits. As I hope to show Gourmont's and Jarry's appropriation of the popular image as the inspiration ror L’Ymagier becomes a strategy for destabilizing hierarchies or images and texts including Symbolist ones which has both radical aesthetic and political implications.Bolliger Dokumentations-Bibliothek Zur Kunst Des 20.

1907787771907. Fine. s. d. 1907 12.40 x 18.90 cm une feuille Original color proof of a woodcut inspired by the work of Gauguin and engraved by George-Daniel de Monfreid for a frontispiece project remaining unpublished of Victor Segalen's Les Immémoriaux. Only one other original color proof and one print run in black and white see below are known to date. Printed in two tones green and brown on old Japan and enhanced with gilt painting by the artist. This engraved woodcut was to illustrate as a frontispiece the original edition of Segalen's Les Immémoriaux an ethnographic novel directly inspired by his trip to Polynesia following in Gauguin's footsteps. Segalen therefore asked the painter's follower and closest friend to produce it to whom he also offered Noa Noa bought in Papeete during the auction sale of Gauguin's goods. A mutual friendship and admiration was then born between Segalen and Monfreid under the tutelary aegis of the late painter. It is also in constant reference to the Master that the two friends produce this frontispiece to which Segalen attached great importance but which he will be obliged to abandon due to publishing costs: This is a lot more interesting for me: what will you do for my plate If I dared to imagine something it would be a formidable full-face figure very plain very worn and of an androgyne with male tendences; in short the Maori type described by Gauguin in his Noa Noa and produced by him in the carved wood that remained in Tahiti face of a woman comparable to that which you possess and of which I gave you a photograph I believe. . Are you in favor of reserving your frontispiece for luxury and friends' copies or of prostituting it in current copies Allow me to renew a timid desire expressed at your Vollard exhibition: if you print some more proofs from your color engravings in pochoir do not forget me. Brest 2 November 1906. Monfreid's response 8 January 1907: I have started looking for your plate. Ah! I will not describe it to you yet: it does not come according to what your book should evoke. Besides I am not rich in imagination let alone in symbolism I remain as you have noticed a naturalist but not a realist and to summarize the impression of your Les Immémoriaux one would have to be Gauguin. Finally even so I am not losing hope of doing something; only that I need a little more time to study it.. Monfreid will produce two trial woodcuts whose sizes 22 x 12 cm and 23 x 16 cm were not adapted to the edition each time using the same formidable and frustrated figures Segalen wanted. Our woodcut seems to be the final version of these studies perfectly adapted to the in-12 format of Mercure de France. However the illustration includes the name of the author at the top yet Segalen a naval officer could not sign a novel and had to choose a pseudonym Max-Anély. This constraint may have contributed to this much-desired frontispiece being abandoned. However in all likelihood it was validated by the two trial woodcuts. Monfreid will also use the same male face to produce the ex-libris requested by Segalen. In his letter dated 2 November the poet already imagined a confidential print for Monfreid's work. In the end only two color copies of this proof enhanced in gold seem to have been preserved the second being today in the collections of the Musée Maurice Denis in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The artist had likely printed one for himself and offered the other to Segalen who dreamed of owning etching of the one he called his ""Boss"" and to whom he would dedicate his collection of poems Peintures. unknown

1924782501924. Fine. s. d. 1924 9.30 x 7.80 cm autre Tehura. Original proof engraved after the painting ""Merahi Metua no Tehamana"". Intermediate state for Noa Noabetween 1904 & 1924 93 x 78 cm one sheetOriginal proof likely unique of this intermediate state of Tehura wood drawn and engraved after Paul Gaughin's painting Merahi Metua no Tehamana by George-Daniel de Monfreid. Print on fine cream laid paper annotation by the artist in the left-hand margin. The definitive wood served as the head of chapter VI Le Conteur parle page 81 of the true first edition of Noa Noa published by Crès in 1924 the first illustrated work from Paul Gauguin and a majestic tribute to one of the precursors of modern art. A most important and very first woodcut of Gauguin's masterpiece engraved by his closest friend and executor artist George-Daniel de Monfreid to whom Gauguin offered the painting after two unsuccessful exhibitions. Likely unique proof part of 17 known test prints from the project to publish prematurely Noa Noa all made on various fine papers and annotated by the artist. Precious woodcut after Gauguin's masterpiece Merahi metua no Tehamana showing the painter's wife his main tahitian model. It is from the original illustrated manuscript of Noa Noa brought back from Tahiti by Segalen on the artist's death in 1903 that Monfreid began producing this fundamental work from as early as 1904. This is the second version of this to read and look at notebook. The first manuscript written on the return of his first voyage and entrusted by Gauguin to Charles Morice in 1893 responded to a different project. Gauguin had composed only the text interspersed with blank pages for Morice's poems. But after several years without news Morice preferred to publish a version entirely rewritten by himself in 1901. Gauguin therefore copied his manuscript and illustrated it during his second stay in Polynesia with sketches watercolors and collages. This album that the artist enriched and safely preserved until his death is preserved today at the Musée d'Orsay. It is therefore from this manuscript the only one illustrated that Monfreid composed the edition of Gauguin's Noa Noa. However although Monfreid's publication was forward it took more than twenty years to complete in part due to a copyright dispute with Charles Morice who wanted to be co-author of the forthcoming edition and whose poems would eventually be preserved. The result of several years of reflection and work the 1924 edition is both faithful to the watercolors and woodcut engravings illustrating the precious manuscript and to the whole of Gauguin's Tahitian work who died in indifference. Monfreid thus engraves several drawings from the original notebook and enriches it with woodcuts made from other works of which he is the custodian. Some of these compositions combine several paintings while scrupulously respecting the artist's line transforming the work into a true journey through the painter's works. The very choice of using wood engraving is a tribute to this technique prized by Gauguin who in Pont-Aven produced 10 woodcuts to illustrate his manuscript between his two Polynesian stays. The intermediate woodcuts until then unknown testify to the slow work of composition to restore the artistic richness of Gauguin's work by his most faithful artistic companion and first champion: When I saw Gauguin for the first time I was greatly disconcerted by the details of art that radiated from his works as well as from the conversations of this extraordinary man. You immediately felt that he was the Master in L'Hermitage 1903. unknown

1924782481924. Fine. s. d. 1924 9.30 x 7.80 cm autre Diane et Actéon aux Marquises. Noa Noa. Unique proof of the woodcut drawn and engraved after Paul Gauguin by George-Daniel de Monfreidbetween 1904 & 1924 93 x 78 mm one sheetOriginal proof likely unique of this intermediate state of a woodcut drawn and engraved by George-Daniel de Monfreid after two works by Paul Gauguin. Print on Japan silk annotation by the artist in the left-hand margin. Woodcut drawn and engraved after two works the man holding a branch being a reproduction of a watercolor on page 37 of the Noa Noa manuscript while the full-length woman originally observed by this browser is presented here in bust with her hand to her face model reproduced on a woodcut engraved by Gauguin on page 4 of the manuscript and his original sketch pasted on page 51 evoking a similar scene. The final woodcut will serve as the head of chapter IV of the first true illustrated edition of Noa Noa published by Crès in 1924 the first illustrated work after Paul Gauguin and a majestic tribute to one of the precursors of modern art. Superb engraving synthesizing a watercolor from the original Noa Noa manuscript inspired by the myth of Diana and Actaeon engraved by Gauguin's closest friend and executor the artist George-Daniel de Monfreid heir to the album he would offer to the French State in 1927. A likely unique proof part of 17 known test woodcuts from the early project to publish Noa Noa all made on various fine papers and annotated by the artist. Woodcut engraved after a watercolor reinterpreting the myth of Diana surprised in the bath by Actaeon. In the engraving Monfreid took care to preserve the typical of deer antler shape of the branch seized by the indiscreet which evokes its metamorphosis by the goddess. A very rare work by Gauguin mixing ancient mythology and island exoticism whose subversive power seems entirely carried by the vahine Diana's expression of feint surprise. It is from the original illustrated manuscript of Noa Noa brought back from Tahiti by Segalen on the artist's death in 1903 that Monfreid began producing this fundamental work from as early as 1904.

1924782471924. Fine. s. d. 1924 9.30 x 7.80 cm autre La Mémoire et l'Imagination. Noa Noa. Unique proof of the woodcut drawn and engraved after Paul Gauguin by George-Daniel de Monfreid between 1904 & 1924 93 x 78 cm one sheet Original proof likely unique of this intermediate state of a woodcut drawn and engraved by George-Daniel de Monfreid after a watercolor by Paul Gauguin. Print on fine cream laid paper annotation by the artist in the left-hand margin. Woodcut drawn and engraved after a watercolor from the Noa Noa manuscript pasted on a page of text of the famous album. The final woodcut will serve as the head of the first illustrated edition of Noa Noa published by Crès in 1924 the first illustrated work after Paul Gauguin and a majestic tribute to one of the precursors of modern art. Superb and significant engraving after a very specific watercolor from Paul Gauguin's manuscript a real breakthrough in text engraved by his closest friend and executor the artist George-Daniel de Monfreid heir to the album he would offer to the French State in 1927. The initial watercolor was cut out in waves around the female figure and pasted on the last chapter to prevent it from being read and thus get the story back on track. Gauguin had also added winding lines starting from the watercolor on the text page thus giving the impression of a cave breaking through the page by the psychic power of the sitting woman whose head diffuses the undulating rays. Monfreid decided to place it at the head of the work accompanied by two birds taken from other works to illustrate the power of the artist and his imagination. A likely unique proof part of 17 known test woodcuts from the early project to publish Noa Noa all made on various fine papers and annotated by the artist. Unique proof of a woodcut engraved after the mystical watercolor erasing the first ending of the story to allow the reader to graphically enter the painted album repeated in the printed version as the initiatory opening of the engraved story. It is from the original illustrated manuscript of Noa Noa brought back from Tahiti by Segalen on the artist's death in 1903 that Monfreid began producing this fundamental work from as early as 1904. This is the second version of this to read and look at notebook.

1924782491924. Fine. s. d. 1924 9.30 x 7.80 cm autre Les Odalisques aux mangues. Noa Noa. Unique proof of the woodcut drawn and engraved after Paul Gauguin by George-Daniel de Monfreidbetween 1904 & 1924 93 x 78 cm one leafOriginal proof likely unique of this intermediate state of a woodcut drawn and engraved by George-Daniel de Monfreid after Paul Gauguin. Print on fine cream laid paper annotation by the artist in the left-hand margin. Woodcut drawn and engraved after two different works. The back of the woman is an exact reproduction of an ink from page 92 of the Noa Noa manuscript while the woman lying down takes up the well-known theme of the woman with mangos Te Arii Vahine-Opoi that Gauguin represented in paint as well as with an engraving in 1898. The final woodcut will serve as the head of chapter V of the first true illustrated edition of Noa Noa published by Crès in 1924 the first illustrated work from Paul Gauguin and a majestic tribute to one of the precursors of modern art. Superb and significant engraving uniting two major themes of the Tahitian work including the central drawing of the Noa Noa manuscript faithfully engraved by Gauguin's closest friend and executor the artist George-Daniel de Monfreid. A likely unique proof part of 17 known test woodcuts from the project to prematurely publish Noa Noa all made on various fine papers and annotated by the artist. Woodcut engraved from two major original works. By uniting these two vahines with sensual postures Monfreid brings about a true synthesis of Gauguin's work all while using the traditional double figure of the artist's paintings. It is from the original illustrated manuscript of Noa Noa brought back from Tahiti by Segalen on the artist's death in 1903 that Monfreid began producing this fundamental work from as early as 1904.
