TEN QUOTES OF 'PAUL GAUGUIN' ON HIS 165th BIRTH-ANNIVERSARY !

(1.) ''Go on working, freely and furiously, and you will make progress.''

(2.) ''In painting one must search rather for suggestion than for description, as is done in music.''

(3.) ''Whatever may happen the sun will rise tomorrow as it rose to-day, beneficent and serene.''

(4.) ''Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will !''

(5.) ''In marriage, the greater cuckold of the two is the lover !''

(6.) ''Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction !''

(7.) ''Art is either plagiarism or revolution !''

(8.) ''I shut my eyes in order to see !''

(9.) ''If you see a tree as blue, then make it blue !''

(10.) ''There are two sorts of beauty; one is the result of instinct, the other of study. A combination of the two, with the resulting modifications, brings with it a very complicated richness, which the art critic ought to try to discover.''
