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
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

Paul Gauguin
Image
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
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
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
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Oh mysterious world of all light, thou hast made a light shine within me, and I have grown in admiration of thy antique beauty, which is the immemorial youth of nature.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The cyclone ends. The sun returns the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again man does likewise. The great anguish is over joy has returned the sea smiles like a child.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
