More quotes by Paul Gauguin
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
I made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
Paul Gauguin
But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself.
Paul Gauguin
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
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 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
Follow the masters! But why should one follow them? The only reason they are masters is that they didn't follow anybody!
Paul Gauguin
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
I must confess that I too am a woman and that I am always prepared to applaud a woman who is more daring than I, and is equal to a man in fighting for freedom of behavior.
Paul Gauguin
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
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
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
Paul Gauguin
Do you know what will soon be the ultimate in truth? - photography, once it begins to reproduce colors, and that won't be long in coming. And yet you want an intelligent man to sweat for months so as to give the illusion he can do something as well as an ingenious little machine can!
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
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
Paul Gauguin
