"To Jean Aubry, sympathies from afar Charles Morice".
Noa Noa was written by Gauguin in 1893 after his first trip to Tahiti. Gauguin had been close to Morice since he met him in Armand Seguin's studio, and asked him to revise the manuscript. The text was first published in the Revue Blanche in 1897, then unable to find a publisher, Morice edited it himself and deposited it in the rue Bonaparte at the éditions de la Feather. The hundred or so copies sent to Gauguin in the Marquesas Islands were lost on the way. The artist did not sign any of the copies.
