Quote

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.

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 made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer.
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A nude by Degas is chaste. But his women wash in tubs!
Paul Gauguin
Image
It was so simple to paint things as I saw them to put without special calculation a red close to a blue.
Paul Gauguin
Image
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I plunged eagerly and passionately into the wilderness, as if in the hope of thus penetrating into the very heart of this Nature, powerful and maternal, there to blend with her living elements.
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
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
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
Image
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
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.
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are tonalities which are noble and others which are vulgar, harmonies which are calm or consoling, and others which are exciting because of their boldness.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Under the continual contact with the pebbles my feet have become hardened and used to the ground. My body, almost constantly nude, no longer suffers from the sun. Civilization is falling from me little by little. I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor - rather, to love him.

I sit at my door, smoking a cigarette and sipping my absinthe, and I enjoy every day without a care in the world
