Synopsis
(Lecteur, sous les yeux de qui l'oeuvre tahitienne de Paul Gauguin passa peut-etre inapercue tant on a peu de temps, a Paris et ailleurs, pour penser a soi, a son propre developpement, a ses plus profitables plaisirs! elle est la, je t'y ramene: le point de vue est en elle, des songeries que voici.) Dans ces toiles gonflees encore des souffles lointains qui nous les apporterent, vivantes d'une vie a la fois elementaire et fastueuse, c'est la serenite de l'atmosphere qui donne a la vision sa profondeur, c'est la simplification des lignes qui projette les formes dans l'infini, c'est du mystere que l'intarissable lumiere, en le designant, irradie, revelant: une race.
