ノアノア 図版06
Gauguin assembled this wild, dreamlike page for his travel journal 'Noa Noa,' a manuscript he created to explain his 'savage' Tahitian art to the Parisians back home. He pasted in ethnographic photos of local women and a mysterious, horned sculpture he carved, then overlaid them with vibrant, swirling watercolors that look like a fever dream. This mixed-media collage perfectly captures his Symbolist obsession, blending gritty reality with exotic fantasy to sell the myth of a primitive paradise where he could escape modern civilization.
