Many people say that I don't ...

Many people say that I don't know how to draw because I don't draw particular forms. When will they understand that execution, drawing and color (in other words, style) must be in harmony with the poem?

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

In Europe men and women have intercourse because they love each other. In the South Seas they love each other because they have had intercourse. Who is right?

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

With practice the craft will ...

With practice the craft will come almost of itself, in spite of you and all the more easitly if you think of something besides technique.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

If I did what has already bee...

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!

I'd like to write the way I do my paintings, that is, as fantasy takes me, as the moon dictates.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Literary poetry in a painter ...

Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Color which, like music, is a...

Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Art is either revolution or plagiarism

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Do not copy nature. Art is an abstraction. Rather, bring your art forth by dreaming in front of her and think more of creation.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

The missionary is no longer a...

The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison.

A meter of green is greener than a centimeter.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

I have come to an unalterable decision - to go and live forever in Polynesia. Then I can end my days in peace and freedom, without thoughts of tomorrow and this eternal struggle against idiots.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Follow the masters! But why should one follow them? The only reason they are masters is that they didn't follow anybody!

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Under the continual contact w...

Under the continual contact with the pebbles my feet have become hardened and used to the ground. My body, almost constantly nude, no longer suffers from the sun. Civilization is falling from me little by little. I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor - rather, to love him.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Do not copy nature too much. ...

Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

There are two sorts of beauty...

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 151 quotes

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.
