Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
A good painting should be the equivalent of a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art is jealous, and demands our whole strength ... .
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am painting with the same enthusiasm as a Marseillaise eats bouillabaisse ... I am painting big sunflowers.
