    Your Cruise Marquesas, the Tuamotus & Society Islands

    Marquesas, The Tuamotus & Society Islands From 6/11/2021 From Papeete, Tahiti Island Ship: LE PAUL GAUGUIN to 20/11/2021 to Papeete, Tahiti Island From Tahiti, PAUL GAUGUIN Cruises invites you to embark on an all-new 15-day cruise to the heart of idyllic islands and atolls hemmed by stunning clear-water lagoons and surrounded by an exceptional coral reef. Aboard Le Paul Gauguin, set sail to discover French Polynesia, considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. Le Paul Gauguin will stop at the heart of the Tuamotu Islands to explore the marvellous depths of the atoll of Fakarava, a UNESCO-classified nature reserve. Discover the unique charms of Marquesasthe Islands. The singer- songwriter Jacques Brel sang about the Marquesas Islands and the painter Paul Gauguin was inspired by these islands which stand like dark green fortresses surrounded by the indigo blue of the Pacific. Here, you will find neither lagoons nor reefs. The archipelago’s charm lies in its wild beauty. In the heart of the dense forests of Nuku Hiva, droplets from the waterfalls dive off the vertiginous cliffs. As for the islands of Hiva Oa and Fatu Hiva, they still hide mysterious ancient petroglyphs. In the Society Islands, you will be dazzled by the incomparable beauty of Huahine, by the turquoise waters of the Motu Mahana, our private vanilla- scented little paradise, by the sumptuous lagoon of Bora Bora, with its distinctly recognisable volcanic silhouette, and by Moorea, with its hillside pineapple plantations and its verdant peaks overlooking the island.

ISSN 1754-3797 Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/625715/ Version: Accepted Version Publisher: Berghahn Books DOI: https://doi.org/10.3167/eca.2020.130103 Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk Gauguin and Van Gogh Meet the Ninth Art Postmodernism and Myths about Great Artists Matthew Screech Abstract This article analyses how a late twentieth-century/early twenty-first- century development in bandes dessinées, which combines historical novels with bi- ographies, expresses paradoxical attitudes towards mythologies surround- ing Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh. Firstly, I demonstrate that the paradox stems from a simultaneous desire for and suspicion of master narratives, identified as intrinsic to postmodernism by Linda Hutcheon. Then I establish how eight graphic novels perpetuate pre-existing mytho- logical master narratives about Gauguin and Van Gogh. Nevertheless, those mythologies simultaneously arouse scepticism: myths do not express ex- emplary uni versal truths; myths are artificial and fictionalised constructs whose status in reality is dubious. The albums convey tension between desire and suspicion regarding myths by a variety of devices. These include sequenced panels, circular plots, unreliable witnesses, fictional insertions, parodies and mock realism. Keywords: Gauguin, graphic novels, great artists, Linda Hutcheon, mythology, postmodernism, Van Gogh Over the period spanning 1990 to 2016

    Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015

    Media Release Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015 With Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), the Fondation Beyeler presents one of the most important and fascinating artists in history. As one of the great European cultural highlights in the year 2015, the exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler brings together over fifty masterpieces by Gauguin from leading international museums and private collections. This is the most dazzling exhibition of masterpieces by this exceptional, groundbreaking French artist that has been held in Switzerland for sixty years; the last major retrospective in neighbouring countries dates back around ten years. Over six years in the making, the show is the most elaborate exhibition project in the Fondation Beyeler’s history. The museum is consequently expecting a record number of visitors. The exhibition features Gauguin’s multifaceted self-portraits as well as the visionary, spiritual paintings from his time in Brittany, but it mainly focuses on the world-famous paintings he created in Tahiti. In them, the artist celebrates his ideal of an unspoilt exotic world, harmoniously combining nature and culture, mysticism and eroticism, dream and reality. In addition to paintings, the exhibition includes a selection of Gauguin’s enigmatic sculptures that evoke the art of the South Seas that had by then already largely vanished. There is no art museum in the world exclusively devoted to Gauguin’s work, so the precious loans come from 13 countries: Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain (England and Scotland),

  • The Marquesas

    The Marquesas

    © Lonely Planet Publications 199 The Marquesas Grand, brooding, powerful and charismatic. That pretty much sums up the Marquesas. Here, nature’s fingers have dug deep grooves and fluted sharp edges, sculpting intricate jewels that jut up dramatically from the cobalt blue ocean. Waterfalls taller than skyscrapers trickle down vertical canyons; the ocean thrashes towering sea cliffs; sharp basalt pinnacles project from emerald forests; amphitheatre-like valleys cloaked in greenery are reminiscent of the Raiders of the Lost Ark; and scalloped bays are blanketed with desert arcs of white or black sand. This art gallery is all outdoors. Some of the most inspirational hikes and rides in French Polynesia are found here, allowing walkers and horseback riders the opportunity to explore Nuku Hiva’s convoluted hinterland. Those who want to get wet can snorkel with melon- headed whales or dive along the craggy shores of Hiva Oa and Tahuata. Bird-watchers can be kept occupied for days, too. Don’t expect sweeping bone-white beaches, tranquil turquoise lagoons, swanky resorts and THE MARQUESAS Cancun-style nightlife – the Marquesas are not a beach holiday destination. With only a smat- tering of pensions (guesthouses) and just two hotels, they’re rather an ecotourism dream. In everything from cuisine and dances to language and crafts, the Marquesas do feel different from the rest of French Polynesia, and that’s part of their appeal. Despite the trap- pings of Western influence (read: mobile phones), their cultural uniqueness is overwhelming. They also make for a mind-boggling open-air museum, with plenty of sites dating from pre-European times, all shrouded with a palpable historical aura.

It is interesting to note that Degas purchased this painting from the Paris exhibition of Gauguin’s work held at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in the autumn of 1893.

    Physical Anthropology of the Pacific – Michael Pietrusewsky

    PHYSICAL (BIOLOGICAL) ANTHROPOLOGY – Physical Anthropology of the Pacific – Michael Pietrusewsky PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE PACIFIC Michael Pietrusewsky Department of Anthropology, University of Hawaii at Mānoa, Honolulu, 96822 U.S.A. Keywords: Physical anthropology, skeletal biology, bioarchaeology, paleopathology, craniology, biological distance, multivariate statistics, dental studies, genetic studies, Polynesian origins, Lapita skeletons Contents 1. Introduction 2. Pacific Islands: Geology, Prehistory and Linguistics 3. First Impressions/Early Paradigms (Table 1) 4. Pacific Relationships and Polynesian Origins (Table 2) 5. Health, Disease, and Lifestyle of Early Pacific Islanders (Table 3) 6. Regional Studies in Skeletal Biology 7. Conclusions and Future Prospects Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A brief summary of studies in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific and Polynesia is presented. Commencing with early studies in physical anthropology in the mid-nineteenth century, which included studies of living as well as prehistoric inhabitants of the Pacific, this survey focuses mainly on two topics: What studies of skeletons from the region have revealed about 1) the initial peopling of the Pacific and the origins of the Polynesians and 2) the health and lifestyle of past Pacific Islanders and Polynesians. Despite the limited number of studies in the physical anthropology of the Pacific and issues surrounding repatriation, a significant amount of information about the past inhabitants of this region continues to emerge from work involving human skeletons. 1. Introduction This chapter summarizes previous work in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific. Although evidence from other areas in physical anthropology (e.g., genetic and dental studies) is included, the major focus will be what studies of human skeletons and teeth reveal about the origins, health, and lifestyle of the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific, particularly Polynesians.
