More quotes by Paul Gauguin
By the combination of lines and colors, under the pretext of some motif taken from nature, I create symphonies and harmonies that represent nothing absolutely real in the ordinary sense of the word but are intended to give rise to thoughts as music does.
Paul Gauguin
Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.
Paul Gauguin
Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.
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
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
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
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
Paul Gauguin
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
Paul Gauguin
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
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Paul Gauguin
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
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
Paul Gauguin
I am a great artist and I know it, it is because I am that I have been able to endure so much suffering.
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
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
There are tonalities which are noble and others which are vulgar, harmonies which are calm or consoling, and others which are exciting because of their boldness.
Paul Gauguin
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
