Quote

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.

Image
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
Image
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I am a great artist and I know it. It's because of what I am that I have endured so much suffering, so as to pursue my vocation, otherwise I would consider myself a rogue - which is what many people think I am, for that matter.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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.
