It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

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 151 quotes

There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?

Civilization is what makes you sick.

Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.

The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.

We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!

Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

I am leaving in order to have...

I am leaving in order to have peace and quiet. To be rid of the influence of civilization. I only want to do simple, very simple art and to be able to do that, I have to immerse myself in virgin nature, see no one but savages, live their life, with no other thought in my mind but to render, the way a child would, the concepts formed in my brain and to do this with the aid of nothing but the primitive means of art, the only means that are good and true.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Thanks to our cinctures and c...

Thanks to our cinctures and corsets we have succeeded in making an artificial being out of woman. She is an anomaly, and Nature herself, obedient to the laws of heredity, aids us in complicating and enervating her. We carefully keep her in a state of nervous weakness and muscular inferiority, and in guarding her from fatigue, we take away from her possibilities of development. Thus modeled on a bizarre ideal of slenderness to which, strangely enough, we continue to adhere, our women have nothing in common with us, and this, perhaps, may not be without grave moral and social disadvantages.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

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.

A critic is someone who meddles with something that is none of his business.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

On an instrument you start from one tone. In painting you start from several.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Painting is the most beautifu...

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 151 quotes

Life has no meaning unless on...

Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

And here in my isolation I ca...

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 151 quotes

Oh yes! He loved yellow, did ...

Oh yes! He loved yellow, did good Vincent...When the two of us were together in Arles, both of us insane, and constantly at war over beautiful colors, I adored red; where could I find a perfect vermilion?

Sooner or later people will learn to recognize your worth
