Project Gutenberg 2020-06-08 Public domain in the USA. 209 Gauguin, Paul 1848 1903 Gauguin, Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin, Eugene Henri Paul Avant et Après Avec les vingt-sept dessins du manuscrit original Produced by Laurent Vogel, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) at http://gallica.bnf.fr) "Avant et Après" by Paul Gauguin is a reflective and somewhat philosophical work composed of letters written in the early 20th century. It appears to explore the complexities of art, life, and personal relationships through the lens of the author’s experiences and thoughts. Gauguin's narrative seems to blur the lines between autobiography and broader commentary on society, art, and morality. The opening of this work features an introspective tone, with Gauguin addressing the reader directly and dismissing conventional notions of literature, suggesting that this is not just a book. He shares his disdain for societal norms and expresses a desire for freedom of expression similar to that found in his paintings. Through a series of musings, he reflects on personal relationships, particularly his interactions with women and fellow artists like Vincent van Gogh, revealing profound insights into the human condition, creativity, and the societal expectations that often stifle true artistry. Overall, this beginning sets the stage for a thought-provoking narrative that challenges traditional literary forms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
