Vanishing Paradise: Art and Exoticism in Colonial Tahiti
Elizabeth C. Childs
Offers a fresh take on the modernist primitivism of the French painter Paul Gauguin, the nostalgic exoticism of the American John LaFarge, and the elite tourism of the American writer Henry Adams. This title explores how these artists, lured by romantic ideas about travel and exploration, wrestled with the elusiveness of paradise.
