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.

Mozart's mystical fantasy of free masonry unfolded among three Egyptian temple arches of flesh-pink, violet, cerulean blue, turquoise, cobalt and yellow. The middle arch was framed by black sketches of symbolic heads, and its opening revealed projected landscapes.
