Image
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
Image
Life itself, too, is forever turning an infinitely vacant, dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears, any more than it does on a blank canvas. But no matter how vacant and vain, how dead life may appear to be, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, who knows something, will not be put off so easily.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one were to say but few words, though ones with meaning, one would do better than to say many that were only empty sounds, and just as easy to utter as they were of little use.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art is to console those who are broken by life.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Gauguin says that when sailors have to move a heavy load or raise an anchor, they all sing together to keep them up and give them vim. That's just what artists lack!
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know if I can convey the postman as I feel him... Unfortunately he cannot pose, and a painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Spring is the fresh green of young corn and the pink blush of blossoms. Autumn contrasts the yellowed foilage with violet hues. Winter is the white of snow against its black forms ... Summer is the contrast of blues and the golden bronze of the corn.
