Image
The critics can say stupid things and we can enjoy them, if we have the legitimate feeling of superiority - the satisfaction of a duty accomplished.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed, at its aspect everyone may create romance at the will of his imagination, and at a glance have his soul invaded by the most profound memories, no efforts of memory, everything summed up in one moment. Complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.
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
for Christ's sake, were the mountains blue, then chuck on some blue and don't go telling me that it was a blue a bit like this or like that, it was blue wasn't it? Good - make them blue and that's enough!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
Image
What still concerns me the most is: am I on the right track, am I making progress, am I making mistakes in art?
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
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
Do not finish your work too much. An impression is not sufficiently durable for its first freshness to survive a belated search for infinite detail in this way you let the lava grow cool.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
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 art there are only two types of people: revolutionaries and plagiarists
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
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
The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal
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
If I did what has already been done, I would be a plagiarist and would consider myself unworthy so I do something different and people call me a scoundrel. I'd rather be a scoundrel than a plagiarist!
Paul Gauguin
Image
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Oh mysterious world of all light, thou hast made a light shine within me, and I have grown in admiration of thy antique beauty, which is the immemorial youth of nature.
Paul Gauguin
Image
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
