| NOTES: |
The Moon and Sixpence is the famous modern novel of an artist who found conventional morality and tradition stultifying, and rejected society to live and paint as he chose. His rebellion took him from England to Paris, then finally to Tahiti and the fulfillment of his dreams. It was inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, a bold and daring artistic rebel whose vision profoundly influenced the entire course of modern painting. |
