Paul Gauguin ended his career on the Paris Bourse in 1883, at the age of 35. His death two decades later, in the cerulean and blood-red land and seascape of the South Pacific, was watched over by honey-colored friends. Once when a Tahitian man named Totefa respectfully told him that he "could do things which other men were incapable of doing," Gauguin rushed to his diary and wrote: "I believe Totefa is the first human being in the world who used such words toward me.
