More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Exaggerate the essential, leave the obvious vague.
Vincent Van Gogh
Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Both she and I have grief enough and trouble enough, but as for regrets – neither of us have any.
Vincent Van Gogh
There is something intimate about painting I cannot explain to you ? but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings.
Vincent Van Gogh
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh
For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Vincent Van Gogh
l can do very well without God both in my life and in my painting, but l cannot, ill as I am, do without something which is greater than l, which is my life — the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh
But what's your ultimate goal, you'll say. That goal will become clearer, will take shape slowly and surely, as the croquis becomes a sketch and the sketch a painting, as one works more seriously, as one digs deeper into the originally vague idea, the first fugitive, passing thought, unless it becomes firm.
Vincent Van Gogh
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
Vincent Van Gogh
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Someday death will take us to another star.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must spoil as many canvases as one succeeds with.
Vincent Van Gogh
The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
One begins by plaguing oneself to no purpose in order to be true to nature, and one concludes by working quietly from one's own palette alone, and then nature is the result.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
Vincent Van Gogh
I tried to express through red and green the terrible passions of humanity.
Vincent Van Gogh
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
