A few choice words from post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin, who was born today in 1848:

“Go on working, freely and furiously, and you will make progress.”

“Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting to suggest it.”

“Art: a mad search for individualism.”
