Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Soon I'll be old and I've done precious little in this world for lack of time. I am always afraid I'll become senile before I've finished what I've undertaken.
Paul Gauguin
Image

Paul Gauguin
Image
Out in the sun, some painters are lined up. The first is copying nature, the second is copying the first, the third is copying the second... You see the sequence.
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
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain.
Paul Gauguin
Image
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I am a great artist and I know it. It's because of what I am that I have endured so much suffering, so as to pursue my vocation, otherwise I would consider myself a rogue - which is what many people think I am, for that matter.
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
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Image
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.
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
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
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
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.

Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
