The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer.

Image
Out in the sun, some painters are lined up. The first is copying nature, the second is copying the first, the third is copying the second... You see the sequence.
Paul Gauguin

There are two sorts of beauty one is the result of instinct, the other of study. A combination of the two, with the resulting modifications, brings with it a very complicated richness, which the art critic ought to try to discover.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Lacking many of the essential implements, it irritated me to be reduced to impotence in the face of artistic projects to which I had passionately given myself.

Image
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin

On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Oh yes! he loved yellow, this good Vincent, this painter from Holland - those glimmers of sunlight rekindled his soul, that abhorred the fog, that needed the warmth.
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It was so simple to paint things as I saw them to put without special calculation a red close to a blue.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I have come to an unalterable decision - to go and live forever in Polynesia. Then I can end my days in peace and freedom, without thoughts of tomorrow and this eternal struggle against idiots.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed, at its aspect everyone may create romance at the will of his imagination, and at a glance have his soul invaded by the most profound memories, no efforts of memory, everything summed up in one moment. Complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
Paul Gauguin
Image
In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary and it is they alone who are masters.
Paul Gauguin
Image
for Christ's sake, were the mountains blue, then chuck on some blue and don't go telling me that it was a blue a bit like this or like that, it was blue wasn't it? Good - make them blue and that's enough!
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are tonalities which are noble and others which are vulgar, harmonies which are calm or consoling, and others which are exciting because of their boldness.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
