A rebel in both art and life, he rejected his bourgeois upbringing and comfortable stockbroker's job to devote himself to painting. In search of a primitive idyll, he left his wife and children behind in France and took up residence in the South Seas, first in Tahiti. In the final months of his life, he wrote this witty and revealing autobiographical memoir with the request that it be published upon his death. It first appeared in French in 1918 and was translated into English three years later. It reflects his frank views on his fellow artists in Paris, his turbulent relationship with Vincent Van Gogh, and the charms of Polynesian women, with glimpses into his often far-from-idyllic existence in the Pacific Islands. With his own full page sketches, these entertaining and enlightening musings give us a unique insight. 'The immense breadfruit trees are overthrown, the cocoanut trees bow their backs and their tops brush the earth. Everything is in flight, rocks, trees, corpses, carried down to the sea. What a passionate orgy of the wrathful gods!' Sunny yellow clothbound, 186pp, 19cm x 25.5cm. Numbered limited edition.
