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
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal

Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
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.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I must confess that I too am a woman and that I am always prepared to applaud a woman who is more daring than I, and is equal to a man in fighting for freedom of behavior.
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.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I am a great artist and I know it, it is because I am that I have been able to endure so much suffering.
Paul Gauguin
Image

Paul Gauguin
Image
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Look closely at the Japanese they draw admirably and yet in them you will see life outdoors and in the sun without shadows.
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
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
Go on working, freely and furiously, you will make progress and sooner or later your worth will be recognised, if you have any.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Under the continual contact with the pebbles my feet have become hardened and used to the ground. My body, almost constantly nude, no longer suffers from the sun. Civilization is falling from me little by little. I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor - rather, to love him.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
It is well for young men to have a model, but let them draw the curtain over it while they are painting.
