This is the first book devoted to his wide-ranging literary output, which included journalism, travel writing, art criticism, and essays on aesthetics, religion, and politics. It analyses his original manuscripts, some of which are richly illustrated, reinstating them as an integral component of his art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seemingly haphazard, collage-like structure of Gauguin’s manuscripts enabled him to evoke the “primitive” culture that he celebrated, while rejecting the style of establishment critics. Gauguin’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis critical analysis of his writings significantly enriches our understanding of the complexities of artistic encounters in the French colonial context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471509635308,"sku":"9780300240597","price":77.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300240597-savage-tales.jpg?v=1775245367"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/linda-goddard.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
