Paul Gauguin
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
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.

Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
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
In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.

Paul Gauguin
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
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
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
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
Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction.
Paul Gauguin
