More quotes by Paul Gauguin
A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.
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 sit at my door, smoking a cigarette and sipping my absinthe, and I enjoy every day without a care in the world
Paul Gauguin
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
Slyly, banteringly, but also overbearingly, the critic - the one who does not swallow anything whole, who waits until posterity has consecrated it before... howling - is among those who howl their admiration the way they howl their insults: don't be afraid, don't tremble - the beast doesn't have any nails or teeth, or even brain: it is stuffed.
Paul Gauguin
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.
Paul Gauguin
Do not finish your work too much. An impression is not sufficiently durable for its first freshness to survive a belated search for infinite detail in this way you let the lava grow cool.
Paul Gauguin
Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
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
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
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.
Paul Gauguin
Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.
Paul Gauguin
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
Paul Gauguin
Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
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
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain.
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
