Image
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
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
In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.
Paul Gauguin

Art = a mad search for individualism.
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.
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
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
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
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
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
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.
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
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
