Read the passage and answer the following questions:
Though Paul Gauguin himself recognized both the “ sensitive” and the “savage” as two opposing sides of this character, in his career as an artist he thought of himself as “the savage.” He tended to disregard convention and abandon social responsibilities. He felt that only by renouncing the ordinary could he be the artist he wanted to be. He justified his quarrelling with friends, his leaving his wife and children and his promiscuity because he believed it to be the only was his art could be liberated. In his attitude can be found seeds for art in the coming century; the art of the primitive of symbol, of imagination. He wanted to escape from merely observing naturalism to using abstract colour and form as conveyors of feeling. He wanted to free the 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 were essential to art.
