Image
Follow the masters! But why should one follow them? The only reason they are masters is that they didn't follow anybody!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Oh yes! he loved yellow, this good Vincent, this painter from Holland - those glimmers of sunlight rekindled his soul, that abhorred the fog, that needed the warmth.
Paul Gauguin
Image
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
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
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
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art = a mad search for individualism.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
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
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
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
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
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
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
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
