He was a glamorous figure and has attracted the interest of writers as well as the lay pub lic. In Somerset Maugham's "Moon and Sixpence," he appears, thinly disguised, as the hero. In Tahiti he married a Tahitian woman and his paintings record the idyllic life of a primitive, unspoiled people. From them it is immediately appar ent that his extraordinary personal vision is both sensitive and powerful and is expressed in rich' and singing color. . . . Gauguin also was a writer, his book "Noa-Noa", being distinguished for its beauty of style and imagery.
