Quote

There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.

Image
Accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity.
Vincent Van Gogh

The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painters understand nature and love it, and teach us to see.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what I write to you are only banalities.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is the language of nature to which one has to listen.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I work as diligently on my canvases as the laborers do in their fields.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain indebtedness and duty toward it because I have walked this earth for thirty years, and, out of gratitude, want to leave some souvenir in the shape of drawings or pictures — not made to please a certain taste in art, but to express a sincere human feeling.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day , on a regular basis....I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance.
