More quotes by 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
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
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.
Paul Gauguin
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
Paul Gauguin
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
If I did what has already been done, I would be a plagiarist and would consider myself unworthy so I do something different and people call me a scoundrel. I'd rather be a scoundrel than a plagiarist!
Paul Gauguin
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin
Soon I'll be old and I've done precious little in this world for lack of time. I am always afraid I'll become senile before I've finished what I've undertaken.
Paul Gauguin
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
A nude by Degas is chaste. But his women wash in tubs!
Paul Gauguin
Oh mysterious world... I have become better for having understood and having loved thy human soul - a flower which has ceased to bloom and whose fragrance no one henceforth will breathe.
Paul Gauguin
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
Paul Gauguin
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
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
