Though Paul Gauguin, himself, recognized both the “sensitive” and the “savage” as two opposing sides of his character, in his career as an artist the thought of himself as “the savage.” He tended to disregard convention and abandon social responsibilities. He felt that only by renouncing (放弃) the ordinary could he be the artist he wanted to be. He justified his quarreling with friends, his leaving his wife and children, and his promiscuity (混乱), because he believed it to be the only way his art could be liberated. In his attitude can be found seeds for art in the 20th century; the art of the primitive, of symbol, and of imagination. He wanted to escape from merely observing naturalism to using abstract color and form as conveyors of feeling. He wanted to free painting from all restrictions. He began to carry his art deep into the realm of myth and dream with the idea that mystery and enigma (神秘) were essential to art.
