Image
Do not finish your work too much. An impression is not sufficiently durable for its first freshness to survive a belated search for infinite detail in this way you let the lava grow cool.
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
Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Follow the masters! But why should one follow them? The only reason they are masters is that they didn't follow anybody!
Paul Gauguin
Image

Paul Gauguin
Image

Paul Gauguin
Image
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
Paul Gauguin

In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It is well for young men to have a model, but let them draw the curtain over it while they are painting.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.
Paul Gauguin
Image
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The critics can say stupid things and we can enjoy them, if we have the legitimate feeling of superiority - the satisfaction of a duty accomplished.
Paul Gauguin
Image
One's state of mind is three-quarters of what counts, so it has to be carefully nurtured if you want to do something great and lasting.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.
