Quote

Sometimes I long so much to do landscape, just as one would go for a long walk to refresh oneself, and in all of nature, in trees for instance, I see expression and a soul.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh

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.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
Vincent Van Gogh
