Abstract 
Gauguin created his own journal "Le Sourire" in 1899, during his stays between Tahiti and the island of Hiva Oa (Marquesas Islands). It was self-published - handwritten and handprinted. Originally conceived as weekly, it was published monthly. It is thought that not more than thirty copies were produced at a time.
