More quotes by Paul Gauguin

Image
A nude by Degas is chaste. But his women wash in tubs!
Paul Gauguin
Image
In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary and it is they alone who are masters.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
Image
for Christ's sake, were the mountains blue, then chuck on some blue and don't go telling me that it was a blue a bit like this or like that, it was blue wasn't it? Good - make them blue and that's enough!
Paul Gauguin
Image
Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Out in the sun, some painters are lined up. The first is copying nature, the second is copying the first, the third is copying the second... You see the sequence.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed, at its aspect everyone may create romance at the will of his imagination, and at a glance have his soul invaded by the most profound memories, no efforts of memory, everything summed up in one moment. Complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.
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
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
Nothing so resembles a daub as a masterpiece.
Paul Gauguin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A young man who is unable to commit a folly is already an old man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I am a great artist and I know it. It's because of what I am that I have endured so much suffering, so as to pursue my vocation, otherwise I would consider myself a rogue - which is what many people think I am, for that matter.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
