More quotes by Paul Gauguin
A bit of advice, don't copy nature too closely. Art is an abstraction as you dream amid nature, extrapolate art from it, and concentrate on what you will create as a result.
Paul Gauguin
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
Paul Gauguin
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin
A nude by Degas is chaste. But his women wash in tubs!
Paul Gauguin
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
Paul Gauguin
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
One's state of mind is three-quarters of what counts, so it has to be carefully nurtured if you want to do something great and lasting.
Paul Gauguin
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
Paul Gauguin
There are two sorts of beauty one is the result of instinct, the other of study. A combination of the two, with the resulting modifications, brings with it a very complicated richness, which the art critic ought to try to discover.
Paul Gauguin
Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction.
Paul Gauguin
Go on working, freely and furiously, you will make progress and sooner or later your worth will be recognised, if you have any.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
Paul Gauguin
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
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
