More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
I want to paint men and women with that something of the external which the halo used to symbolize, and which we now seek to give by the actual radiance and vibrancy of our colorings.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
As a painter I shall never signify anything of importance. I feel it Absolutely.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Study, analyse the social structure - that's always far more effective than moralising.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I believe I do much better for the time being by first copying some good things than by working without that foundation
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I feel the need of relations and friendship, of affection, of friendly intercourse.... I cannot miss these things without feeling, as does any other intelligent man, a void and a deep need.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I hope I shall be able to make some drawings in which there is something human.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle - more like music and less like sculpture - and above all it promises color. If only it keeps this promise.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple which complete each other like man and woman.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I had a new idea in my head... this time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and, giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.
