Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Image
The work of a man is the explanation of the man.
Paul Gauguin
Image
I shut my eyes in order to see.
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
Stay firmly in your path and dare be wild two hours a day!
Paul Gauguin
Image
On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.
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
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.
