More quotes by Paul Gauguin
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
Paul Gauguin
A nude by Degas is chaste. But his women wash in tubs!
Paul Gauguin
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
However depressed I may be I am not in the habit of giving up a project without having tried everything, even the 'impossible', to gain my end.
Paul Gauguin
Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.
Paul Gauguin
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
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
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
I plunged eagerly and passionately into the wilderness, as if in the hope of thus penetrating into the very heart of this Nature, powerful and maternal, there to blend with her living elements.
Paul Gauguin
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
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.
Paul Gauguin
The cyclone ends. The sun returns the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again man does likewise. The great anguish is over joy has returned the sea smiles like a child.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
In art, there are only two types of people: revolutionaries and plagiarists. And in the end, doesn't the revolutionary's work become official, once the State takes it over?
Paul Gauguin
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
I am a great artist and I know it. It's because of what I am that I have endured so much suffering, so as to pursue my vocation, otherwise I would consider myself a rogue - which is what many people think I am, for that matter.
Paul Gauguin
I sit at my door, smoking a cigarette and sipping my absinthe, and I enjoy every day without a care in the world
Paul Gauguin
