Paul Gauguin’s “The NOA NOA Diary and Other Adventures” exhibit in Rome, October 10th, 2025

French painter Paul Gauguin’s art exhibit “The NOA NOA Diary and Other Adventures” is currently on until 
January 25^th, 2026 at Rome’s Historical Infantry Museum of the Italian Army.

 
Gauguin (his full name was Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin) was born in 1848 and died in 1903.  He lived in Tahiti from 1891 and his artistic style was post-impressionist which had been influenced by primitive art. 

 
Gauguin had been a friend of both Theo and his brother Vincent Van Gogh but when Gauguin eventually broke ranks (and suffering from severe depression) in a sign of despair the great Dutch painter cut off part of his own ear…and eventually committed suicide.
