Painting demands an intelligent model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerises some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I have a firm faith in art, a firm confidence in its being a powerful stream which carries a man to a harbor, though he himself must do his bit too.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
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
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To exaggerate the fairness of hair, I come even to orange tones, chromes and pale yellow ... I make a plain background of the richest, intensest blue that I can contrive, and by this simple combination of the bright head against the rich blue background, I get a mysterious effect, like a star in the depths of an azure sky.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor I shall be a painter.
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
Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The cure for him would be to take a good long look at some potato plants, which have lately had such a deep and distinctive colour and tone, instead of driving himself mad looking at pieces of yellow satin and gold leather.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
