Various perspectives are adopted, from the analysis of the theme of the mask in the self-portraits, to the literary suggestions or those evoked by the Universal Exhibition of 1889. There is also a re-reading of the sojourns in Brittany and Oceania, designed to clarify the links between exoticism and nostalgia: a definition of the evasion in space as the substitute for a regression in time, in search of a dimension of the origins from which modern man is by now debarred. 517 $aPaul Gauguin 606 $aExoticism in art 615 0$aExoticism in art. 676 $a759.05 700 $aMessina$b Maria Grazia$032469 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571747603321 996 $aPaul Gauguin$92261439 997 $aUNINA
