Watercolors by Jean-Paul ALAUX during his eight-month trip to Polynesia in 1936-1937. Bibliography: Christel Haffner Lance, Visions japonaises de Jean-Paul Alaux. Du Bassin d'Arcachon au Pacifique, Arcachon, La Librairie Générale, 2018 We would like to thank Madame Christel Haffner Lance for the information she kindly provided on these drawings. Jean Paul ALAUX 1875-1955 Félicie Tetuanu, granddaughter of Tarahu and great-niece of Pierre Loti Watercolor, signed and dated "August 3, 1937" lower right, annotated at the top and on the right-hand side. 26.5 x 19 cm On the reverse, handwritten by the painter: "Tarahu - Loti's little niece JP Alaux, 12 rue Albert de Mun, Bordeaux. Departure from Papeete, July 17, 1937 This portrait was done by me, during a crossing from Tahiti to Marseille. It shows Félicie Tétuanui, Tarahu's granddaughter, who was a friend of Pierre Loti's brother, a naval doctor. Pierre Loti's brother had two sons by her, and Félicie is the daughter of the elder of the two boys. This friend of Loti's brother was called Tarahu. Loti took on the adventure of his brother who had just died, and it was this Tarahu that he made the Rarahu of his novel. JP Alaux (payable to Commissaire Ramel) Félicie was on her way to Lesparre to join a man named Bariac, a veterinary surgeon in Tahiti. Félicie showed me photos of her father (Loti's nephew). The family resemblance was striking. It was the same upturned head carriage, with its hard, austere stare and determined jawline. Félicie recalled Loti's tale of regret at the eviction, in which he searches in vain, with great anxiety, for his brother's children." Expert: Ms Elisabeth MARECHAUX-LAURENTIN, for Cabinet MARECHAUX We would like to thank Mr.Sébastien LEBOUCHER, from the "documentation / collections inventory" department of the Rochefort museums, for sharing with us the comments of Mr.Alain Quella-Villéger, Pierre Loti's biographer, who states: "Loti had concluded that neither of Tarahu's two sons was Gustave's! What's interesting is to learn that the aforementioned Tarahu, whose identity had thus been proven, still told her side of the story. Loti being famous, it was undoubtedly profitable! It's true that Raymond Roussel was shown Rarahu's tomb, which never existed, so the legends went on...".
