Text Quotes
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 Quotes)
In art one is concerned with the condition of the spirit for three quarters of the time; one must therefore care for oneself if he wishes to make something great and lasting (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
Beautiful colors exist, though we do not realize it, and are glimpsed behind the veil that modesty has drawn over them (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
Sometimes people accuse me of being incomprehensible only because they look for an explicative side to my pictures which is not there (Paul Gauguin 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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I’d like to write the way I do my paintings, that is, as fantasy takes me, as the moon dictates (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
Do not finish your work too much. An impression is not sufficiently durable for its first freshness to survive a belated search for infinite detail; in this way you let the lava grow cool (Paul Gauguin 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 Quotes)
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 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 Quotes)
It is well for young men to have a model, but let them draw the curtain over it while they are painting (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
I was aware that on my skill as a painter would depend the physical and moral possession of the model (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
There is no such thing as exaggerated art. I even believe that there is salvation only in extreme (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Wherever I go I need a period of incubation so that I may learn the essence of nature, which never wishes to be understood or yield herself (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
I made a promise to keep a watch over myself, to remain master of myself, so that I might become a sure observer (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
Having the certitude of a succession of days... equally free and beautiful, peace descends on me (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
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! (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
Literary poetry in a painter is something special, and is neither illustration nor the translation of writing by form (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
The cyclone ends. The sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again; man does likewise. The great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
It was so simple to paint things as I saw them; to put without special calculation a red close to a blue (Paul Gauguin Quotes)
