Gauguin Drawings

In this volume, John Rewald displays an unusual sensitivity and insight into the artist and his creative expression. There is no other publication (written 1958) devoted to Paul Gauguin's draftsmanship, yet as Mr Rewald points out, Gauguin's drawings were his most intimate works. As the artist wrote shortly before his death: "A critic comes to see my paintings, and somewhat hesitantly, asks for my drawings. My drawings! Oh, no! They are my private letters, my secrets."
