More quotes by Paul Gauguin
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
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
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
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
You may dream freely when you listen to music as well as when you look at painting. When you read a book you are the slave of the author's mind.
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
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object beware of this stumbling block.
Paul Gauguin
With practice the craft will come almost of itself, in spite of you and all the more easitly if you think of something besides technique.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
Paul Gauguin
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
Paul Gauguin
However depressed I may be I am not in the habit of giving up a project without having tried everything, even the 'impossible', to gain my end.
Paul Gauguin
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
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
