More quotes by 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
I am a great artist and I know it, it is because I am that I have been able to endure so much suffering.
Paul Gauguin
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
With practice the craft will come almost of itself, in spite of you and all the more easitly if you think of something besides technique.
Paul Gauguin
Art = a mad search for individualism.
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
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
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
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
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
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
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
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
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
A hint - don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master.
Paul Gauguin
One's state of mind is three-quarters of what counts, so it has to be carefully nurtured if you want to do something great and lasting.
Paul Gauguin
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
