'The Moon and Sixpence' is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham, based loosely on the life of the artist Paul Gauguin. It tells the story of unremarkable, Charles Strickland, who suddenly gives up his job, family and familiar surroundings to concentrate on painting, giving up everything in the search for authenticity.
