More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
For loneliness, worries, difficulties, the unsatisfied need for kindness and sympathy - that is what is hard to bear.
Vincent Van Gogh
I devour nature ceaselessly. I exaggerate, sometimes I make changes in the subject but still I don't invent the whole picture. On the contrary, I find it already there. It's a question of picking out what one wants from nature.
Vincent Van Gogh
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
Vincent Van Gogh
For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.
Vincent Van Gogh
One should arrive at leading one's conscience to a state of development so that it becomes the voice of a better and higher self, of which the ordinary self is a servant.
Vincent Van Gogh
Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don't know anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.
Vincent Van Gogh
The more I become decomposed, the more sick and fragile I am, the more I become an artist.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
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
Do you know that drawing with words is also an art... ?
Vincent Van Gogh
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
One begins by plaguing oneself to no purpose in order to be true to nature, and one concludes by working quietly from one's own palette alone, and then nature is the result.
Vincent Van Gogh
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
Modern reality has got such a hold on us that... when we attempt to reconstruct the ancient days in our thoughts...the minor events of our lives tear us away from our meditations, and... thrust us back into our personal [problems]
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to paint what I feel, and feel what I paint.
Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony.
