More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
Vincent Van Gogh
Fortunately for me, I know well enough what I want, and am basically utterly indifferent to the criticism that I work to hurriedly. In answer to that, I have done some things even more hurriedly theses last few days.
Vincent Van Gogh
I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
Vincent Van Gogh
Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.
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
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
What has changed is that my life then was less difficult and my future seemingly less gloomy, but as far as my inner self, my way of looking at things and of thinking is concerned, that has not changed. But if there has indeed been a change, then it is that I think, believe and love more seriously now what I thought, believed and loved even then.
Vincent Van Gogh
The majority of (painters), because they aren't colorists, do not see yellow, orange or sulphur in the South (of France) and they call a painter mad if he sees with eyes other than theirs
Vincent Van Gogh
And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.
Vincent Van Gogh
We are surrounded by poetry on all sides.
Vincent Van Gogh
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Someday death will take us to another star.
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
A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved
Vincent Van Gogh
Christ is more of an artist than the artists he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.
Vincent Van Gogh
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.
Vincent Van Gogh
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
So let us go forward quietly, each on his own path, forever making for the light.
Vincent Van Gogh
