Tahiti a Sketchbook

Jacques Boullaire (1893-1976) is a famous French artist who did engravings. He was drawn to the Pacific Islands as a result of his marriage to Anne Hervé, the daughter of a French resident in the Tuamotu Islands, raised in the rough and austere solitude of a Polynesian atoll where she, too, delighted in drawing and painting. His engravings began with sketches. This book is a short biography of Boullaire and a large collection of his sketches.
