Paul Gauguin
Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction.
Paul Gauguin
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
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
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
Paul Gauguin
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
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
Paul Gauguin
