Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.

I made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer.

A critic in my house sees some paintings. Greatly perturbed, he asks for my drawings. My drawings? Never! They are my letters, my secrets.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

There are noble tones, ordinary ones, tranquil harmonies, consoling ones, others which excite by their vigour.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

How do you see those tree?......

How do you see those tree?... They are yellow. Well then put down yellow. And that shadow is rather blue. So render it with pure ultramarine. Those red leaves? Use vermillion.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Beautiful colors exist, thoug...

Beautiful colors exist, though we do not realize it, and are glimpsed behind the veil that modesty has drawn over them.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

But I owe something to Vincen...

But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

A hint - don't paint too much...

A hint - don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Night is here. All is at rest...

Night is here. All is at rest. My eyes close in order to see without actually understanding the dream that flees before men infinite space; and I experience the languorous sensation produced by the mournful procession of my hopes.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Silence! I am learning to kno...

Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Proficiency in art is a contr...

Proficiency in art is a contract with your self and the empowerment of your self. Not all of us demand or even desire proficiency, but for those who do it's necessary to temper the influence of groups. And while some artists think history is bunk, the historical evidence is overwhelming: "In my isolation I grow stronger."

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

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 151 quotes

If instead of a figure you pu...

If instead of a figure you put the shadow only of a person, you have found an original starting point, that strangeness of which you have calculated.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

I am a great artist and I kno...

I am a great artist and I know it, it is because I am that I have been able to endure so much suffering.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

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 151 quotes

I sit at my door, smoking a cigarette and sipping my absinthe, and I enjoy every day without a care in the world

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

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 151 quotes

Lacking many of the essential implements, it irritated me to be reduced to impotence in the face of artistic projects to which I had passionately given myself.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

The single most powerful tool...

The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
