“Is there a recipe for making beauty? The schools give recipes, but they do not beget works that make people exclaim: " How beautiful that is!”
Paul Gauguin“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“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.”
Paul Gauguin“It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object beware of this stumbling block.”
Paul Gauguin“Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!”
Paul Gauguin“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
