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
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
I have come to an unalterable decision - to go and live forever in Polynesia. Then I can end my days in peace and freedom, without thoughts of tomorrow and this eternal struggle against idiots.
Paul Gauguin
Image
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Image
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
Image
We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The cyclone ends. The sun returns the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again man does likewise. The great anguish is over joy has returned the sea smiles like a child.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
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?
