More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble and you risk your life for it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
Well, I dare not allow myself any illusions, and I am afraid it may never happen that Father and Mother will really appreciate my art. It is not their fault we do not see the same things with the same eyes, or have the same thoughts raised in us by them. They will never be able to understand what painting is.
Vincent Van Gogh
I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am an artist... It's self-evident that what that word implies is looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying, 'I know all about it. I've already found it.' As far as I'm concerned, the word means, 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'
Vincent Van Gogh
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.
Vincent Van Gogh
We spent our whole lives in unconsous excercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words
Vincent Van Gogh
I never get tired of the blue sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
You have to first experience what you want to express
Vincent Van Gogh
You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.
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
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
Vincent Van Gogh
To try to understand the real significance of what the great artists, the serious masters, tell us in their masterpieces, that leads to God one man wrote or told it in a book another, in a picture.
Vincent Van Gogh
