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

Paul Gauguin
Image
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It is well for young men to have a model, but let them draw the curtain over it while they are painting.
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
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
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.

What still concerns me the most is: am I on the right track, am I making progress, am I making mistakes in art?
