Noah Noah

What associations do you have a mention of the name of the Gajen field? Tahiti, Moon and Gross? Welcoming paints of the canvas, which depicts riches and natives with hypertrophied figures?
Brilliant painter and a nicuddy draftsman, a vivid example of the Downshifter of the XIX century, having dealt the cozy bourgeois world of exchange broker on the exotic poverty of the artist?
It turned out that he is also a writer. And poet. More precisely, the author of the diary, whose canvas woven poetic works. But first things first. Before you, dear readers, the book of the Gogen Noah Noah field and excerpts from his book before and then. In essence, it is one work, a diary, as mentioned above. Noah Noah - a diary is unusual, as it is rather not the chronicle of events, but the chronicle of the thoughts following the events, and the chronicle of the senses caused by events. Thoughts tells the narrator, feelings - the poet. Prosecical heads of the storytellor are interspersed with the poetic heads of the poet, the latter are hymns of the conclusions that the narrator did in the previous chapter.
Attention is drawn to the ratio of the Gogen to the natives and their land. Unlike most of the Europeans of that time, the artist sees around himself another universe, an equivalent of which he arrived from: As they for me, and I was a savage for them. And maybe I was wrong.
In Noah Noa, it takes care that this is not a flirty attempt by the artist to explain the viewer shown in the paintings, but sincere reflection of the same motives as in the painting of Hogen, but the language of literature: the same rude, clumsy and infinitely attractive, how his painting.
Excerpts from the book Before and then - a traditional diary prose, describing the Parisian life of Gauguen during its searches for its own style and methods of artistic expression. Part of the chapters are devoted to Van Gogh: the relationship of two artists - from friendship to hostility - they had a considerable impact on the work of both.
