These tales constitute a fundamental critique of so-called art criticism. Interspersed with reflections whose relevance remains intact today, they offer Gauguin's view of the history of 19th-century painting, the one that has established itself. Supported by a very rich iconography, V. Merlhès's study provides the hitherto unknown keys that allow us to open this multi-layered text from which the resentment of the reprobate artist emanates, but where the meaning of his struggle is also lucidly exposed.
