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.

Art
is either plagiarism or revolution.

Civilization
is what makes you sick.

have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone
who are masters.
Paul Gauguin |
In
Europe men and women have intercourse because they love each
other. In the South Seas they love each other because they have
had intercourse. Who is right?

In
marriage, the greater cuckold of the two is the lover.
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
being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
Paul Gauguin |
Life
is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time
to prepare oneself for eternity!
