The Way to Paradise- by Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize Winner is fiction with a setting in the life of artist Paul Gauguin.
"The order of reality was counterbalanced by the painting's upper half: there the floating flowers were sparks, gleams, featherlight phosphorescent meteors aloft in a bluish mauve sky in which the colored brushstrokes suggested a cascade of pointed leaves."
