More quotes by Paul Gauguin
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin
The cyclone ends. The sun returns the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again man does likewise. The great anguish is over joy has returned the sea smiles like a child.
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
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
It is well for young men to have a model, but let them draw the curtain over it while they are painting.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either revolution or plagiarism
Paul Gauguin
Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.
Paul Gauguin
Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin
In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.
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
Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
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
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
Paul Gauguin
Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.
Paul Gauguin
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
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
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.
Paul Gauguin
Let everything about you breathe the calm and peace of the soul.
Paul Gauguin
