More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don't know anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!
Vincent Van Gogh
What a splendid thing watercolour is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
We are surrounded by poetry on all sides.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, I am ploughing on my canvases as they do on their fields (the peasants). It goes badly enough in our profession - in fact that has always been so, but at the moment it is very bad.
Vincent Van Gogh
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is to console those who are broken by life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is a faith and that it brings with it the duty to pay no heed to public opinion - and that in it one conquers by perseverance and not by giving in.
Vincent Van Gogh
Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah! Portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
I wish they would take me as I am.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one get there? It's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Vincent Van Gogh
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
