Famous quotes containing the words gauguin and/or paintings:
“I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant.”
—Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
