Quote

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.

Image
The sight of stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no-just let me be myself-and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Well, I dare not allow myself any illusions, and I am afraid it may never happen that Father and Mother will really appreciate my art. It is not their fault we do not see the same things with the same eyes, or have the same thoughts raised in us by them. They will never be able to understand what painting is.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am unable to describe exactly what is the matter with me now and then there are horrible fits of anxiety, apparently without cause, or otherwise a feeling of emptiness and fatigue in the head.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
There is peace even in the storm
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am no friend of present-day Christianity, though its Founder was sublime.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
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
If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don't know anything.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
In spite of everything, I shall rise again
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
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
Image
I work even in the middle of the day, in the full sunshine, and I enjoy it like a cicada.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.
