Oh mysterious world... I have...

Oh mysterious world... I have become better for having understood and having loved thy human soul - a flower which has ceased to bloom and whose fragrance no one henceforth will breathe.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

One's state of mind is three-...

One's state of mind is three-quarters of what counts, so it has to be carefully nurtured if you want to do something great and lasting.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

The public wants to understan...

The public wants to understand and learn in a single day, a single minute, what the artist has spent years learning.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

No one wants my painting beca...

No one wants my painting because it is different from other people's peculiar, crazy public that demands the greatest possible degree of originality on the painter's part and yet won't accept him unless his work resembles that of the others!

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Nature has mysterious infinit...

Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Beware of luxury! Beware of a...

Beware of luxury! Beware of acquiring the taste and need for it, under the pretext of providing for the morrow.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

There are tonalities which ar...

There are tonalities which are noble and others which are vulgar, harmonies which are calm or consoling, and others which are exciting because of their boldness.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Life is merely a fraction of ...

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

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

for Christ's sake, were the m...

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 151 quotes

What still concerns me the mo...

What still concerns me the most is: am I on the right track, am I making progress, am I making mistakes in art?

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

I must confess that I too am ...

I must confess that I too am a woman and that I am always prepared to applaud a woman who is more daring than I, and is equal to a man in fighting for freedom of behavior.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

A time will come when people ...

A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Perhaps I have no talent, but...

Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Oh mysterious world of all li...

Oh mysterious world of all light, thou hast made a light shine within me, and I have grown in admiration of thy antique beauty, which is the immemorial youth of nature.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

You may dream freely when you...

You may dream freely when you listen to music as well as when you look at painting. When you read a book you are the slave of the author's mind.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

A bit of advice, don't copy n...

A bit of advice, don't copy nature too closely. Art is an abstraction; as you dream amid nature, extrapolate art from it, and concentrate on what you will create as a result.

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Do you know what will soon be...

Do you know what will soon be the ultimate in truth? - photography, once it begins to reproduce colors, and that won't be long in coming. And yet you want an intelligent man to sweat for months so as to give the illusion he can do something as well as an ingenious little machine can!

Paul Gauguin 151 quotes

Art is either a plagiarist or ...

Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.

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

I have tried to establish the right to dare everything.
