Vincent Van Gogh
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
We are surrounded by poetry on all sides.

I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
Vincent Van Gogh
You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s.

Vincent Van Gogh
For instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of colour to express myself more forcefully.
Vincent Van Gogh
When I have a model who is quiet and steady and with whom I am acquainted, then I draw repeatedly 'til there is one drawing that is different from the rest, which does not look like an ordinary study, but more typical and with more feeling.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.
Vincent Van Gogh
We are having wind and rain here, and I am very glad not to be alone. I work from memory on bad days, and that would not do if I were alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one get there? It's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. How can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. In my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
It is good to love many things
Vincent Van Gogh
If you work with love and intelligence, you develop a kind of armour against people's opinions, just because of the sincerity of your love for nature and art. Nature is also severe and, to put it that way, hard, but never deceives and always helps you to move forward.
Vincent Van Gogh
