More quotes by Paul Gauguin
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
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
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
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
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object beware of this stumbling block.
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
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
The critics can say stupid things and we can enjoy them, if we have the legitimate feeling of superiority - the satisfaction of a duty accomplished.
Paul Gauguin
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
Paul Gauguin
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
Under the continual contact with the pebbles my feet have become hardened and used to the ground. My body, almost constantly nude, no longer suffers from the sun. Civilization is falling from me little by little. I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor - rather, to love him.
Paul Gauguin
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.
Paul Gauguin
I must confess that I too am a woman and that I am always prepared to applaud a woman who is more daring than I, and is equal to a man in fighting for freedom of behavior.
Paul Gauguin
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
But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself.
Paul Gauguin
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin
