Individual Reading W. S. Maugham "The Moon and Sixpence" Summary Chapters 41-50

A month later the narrator met Strickland. The artist didn't feel pangs of conscience about Blanche's death. Having talked for a while Strickland decided to show his works to the story-teller. At first the pictures puzzeled the latter, but then he felt their innate strength. 

Time went on and the narrator visited Tahiti where he found out what had happened with Strickland after their last meeting. As captain Nichols, Strickland's fellow, told, the artist went to the French port of Marseilles willing to go to any South country, but circumstances made him stay there for several months. He with the captain had to sleep in different doss-houses, eat not more than once a day and work hard. Strickland prefered to buy paint and paper rather than food and drink. However, he was lucky to be hired on ship going to Tahiti. There he met a young Tahitian  girl, Ata, and got married to her. They began to live in a hut, where Strickland continued painting.
