Trade paperback. Webb, Nancy (After a woodcut by Gauguin, Paul, cover design by). (illustrator). 8th printing. Trade paperback. Text in English, French. xiii, 148 p. 20 cm. Autobiography, 19th century French artist. In 1890, weary of struggling for income in Europe, artist and ex-stockbroker, Paul Gauguin, at age 43, made his first trip to Tahiti, later to make it his home, and to record its people in their "naked beauty". Without illustrations, Gauguin's work would stand as a prototype for the world of Western Civilization's artists to return to the primitive, to find a way out of a constraining society. Good. Light spine creasing. Back cover price sticker residue. Light edge wear. Page border age-toning. Clean text pages. 1.
