More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
The large majority of people are asleep and do not wish to wake up.
Vincent Van Gogh
One of the hardest things to do is to paint darkness which nonetheless has light in it.
Vincent Van Gogh
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation—of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things—the thought of God comes into one's mind.
Vincent Van Gogh
There certainly is an affinity between a person and his work, but it is not easy to define what this affinity is, and on that question many judge quite wrongly.
Vincent Van Gogh
If one hasn't a horse, one is one's own horse.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!
Vincent Van Gogh
Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh
But you must love with a sublime , genuine , profound sympathy , with devotion, with intelligence , and you must try all the time to understand Him more, better and yet more. That will lead to God , that will lead to an unshakeable faith .
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah, Manet has come very, very close to it and Courbet - the marrying of form and colour.
Vincent Van Gogh
You have first to experience what you want to express.
Vincent Van Gogh
I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Art is jealous, and demands our whole strength ... .
Vincent Van Gogh
If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity.
Vincent Van Gogh
The great artist is the simplifier.
Vincent Van Gogh
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
I believe that one thinks much more soundly if the thoughts arise from direct contact with things, than if one looks at things with the aim of finding this or that in them.
Vincent Van Gogh
Great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Ah! Portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come.
Vincent Van Gogh
The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts.
Vincent Van Gogh
How to achieve such anomalies, such alterations and re-fashionings of reality so what comes out of it are lies, if you like, but lies that are more than literal truth.
Vincent Van Gogh
