Quote

Soon I'll be old and I've done precious little in this world for lack of time. I am always afraid I'll become senile before I've finished what I've undertaken.

More quotes by 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
It was so simple to paint things as I saw them to put without special calculation a red close to a blue.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
And here in my isolation I can grow stronger. Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting to suggest it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are tonalities which are noble and others which are vulgar, harmonies which are calm or consoling, and others which are exciting because of their boldness.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
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
Oh yes! he loved yellow, this good Vincent, this painter from Holland - those glimmers of sunlight rekindled his soul, that abhorred the fog, that needed the warmth.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
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
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
In art, there are only two types of people: revolutionaries and plagiarists. And in the end, doesn't the revolutionary's work become official, once the State takes it over?
Paul Gauguin
Image
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
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
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.
