More quotes by Paul Gauguin
Lacking many of the essential implements, it irritated me to be reduced to impotence in the face of artistic projects to which I had passionately given myself.
Paul Gauguin
I made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer.
Paul Gauguin
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.
Paul Gauguin
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
I sit at my door, smoking a cigarette and sipping my absinthe, and I enjoy every day without a care in the world
Paul Gauguin
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
Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.
Paul Gauguin
You may dream freely when you listen to music as well as when you look at painting. When you read a book you are the slave of the author's mind.
Paul Gauguin
If I did what has already been done, I would be a plagiarist and would consider myself unworthy so I do something different and people call me a scoundrel. I'd rather be a scoundrel than a plagiarist!
Paul Gauguin
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
It was so simple to paint things as I saw them to put without special calculation a red close to a blue.
Paul Gauguin
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
By the combination of lines and colors, under the pretext of some motif taken from nature, I create symphonies and harmonies that represent nothing absolutely real in the ordinary sense of the word but are intended to give rise to thoughts as music does.
Paul Gauguin
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
However depressed I may be I am not in the habit of giving up a project without having tried everything, even the 'impossible', to gain my end.
Paul Gauguin
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
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
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
What still concerns me the most is: am I on the right track, am I making progress, am I making mistakes in art?
Paul Gauguin
