Paul Gauguin
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
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.

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin

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
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Do you know what will soon be the ultimate in truth? - photography, once it begins to reproduce colors, and that won't be long in coming. And yet you want an intelligent man to sweat for months so as to give the illusion he can do something as well as an ingenious little machine can!
Paul Gauguin
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
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
I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant.
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
Oh mysterious world... I have become better for having understood and having loved thy human soul - a flower which has ceased to bloom and whose fragrance no one henceforth will breathe.
Paul Gauguin
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
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.
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
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
