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
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
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
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
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
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
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
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
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
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
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Image
But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
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.
