Document Summary
Arcadia ii: a defiled eden- hughes, page 129. Defiled eden is unconventional because eden is a place of purity, sanctity, and serenity. Gauguin encountered a defiled eden, and we could argue that eden cannot exist anymore because it has been defiled. Gauguin left paris to travel to tahiti, an eden. He left his family, fortune, and other such possessions behind. He abandoned all for tahiti and later found that it was a defiled eden. He spent a number of years as a sailor in his youth. He has a rough edge to him and we are put off by his coarse and crass qualities. Gauguin and van gogh met in paris and decided that they wanted to work together. Bernard is in the upper right hand corner, and he was also thought to join the two in collaboration. I have done a self-portrait a jean valjean (les mis rables) .
