Image
Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Soon I'll be old and I've done precious little in this world for lack of time. I am always afraid I'll become senile before I've finished what I've undertaken.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
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
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me.
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
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
Image
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
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
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
