"Noa-Noa", an illustrated collection of memories and legendary stories, is only the second version of Gauguin's homage to Tahiti. "Ancien culte mahorie" is the first. Written and decorated with 23 watercolors, conceived as a true illustrated book, where the images accompany the story almost word for word, this volume is of capital interest: it is the first manifestation of an artist in favor of the "primitive" arts that played such a great role in twentieth-century painting.
