Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning. That art is something which, though produced by human hands, is not wrought by hands alone, but wells up from a deeper source, from a man's soul.
Vincent Van Gogh

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
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
It isn't an easy job to paint oneself - at any rate if it is to be different from a photograph. And you see - this, in my opinion, is the advantage that impressionism possesses over all the other things it is not banal, and one seeks after a deeper resemblance than the photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
In order to work and to become an artist one needs love. At least, one who wants sentiment in his work must in the first place feel it himself, and live with his heart
Vincent Van Gogh
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
Vincent Van Gogh
We take death to reach a star
Vincent Van Gogh
Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.
Vincent Van Gogh
I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent Van Gogh
One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.
Vincent Van Gogh
My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like - but truer than the literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art demands persistent work, work in spite of everything, and continuous observations. By persistent, I mean not only continuous work, but also not giving up your opinion at the bidding of such and such a person.
Vincent Van Gogh
The lamps are burning and the starry sky is over it all.
Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art demands constant observation.
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
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
