More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.
Vincent Van Gogh
I'll start with small things.
Vincent Van Gogh
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh
How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges they have been with us from the very beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Vincent Van Gogh
The wheat field has ...poetry it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
Vincent Van Gogh
Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.
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
What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?
Vincent Van Gogh
Love a friend, love a wife, something, whatever you like, but one must love with a lofty and serious intimate sympathy, with strength, with intelligence, and one must always try to know deeper, better, and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the truly passionate painter who dares-and who has once broken the spell of 'you can't.'
Vincent Van Gogh
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
To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.
Vincent Van Gogh
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh
If we study Japanese art, we see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time doing what? He studies a single blade of grass.
Vincent Van Gogh
Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors... for their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance.
Vincent Van Gogh
