Vincent van Gogh quotes - page 5
Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter, celebrated for his expressive use of color and emotional impact. His works, like "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers," became iconic in modern art. He struggled with mental health throughout his life but profoundly influenced generations of artists. Here are 298 of his quotes:
At present I absolutely want to paint a starry sky. It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.
Vincent van Gogh
Life itself, too, is forever turning an infinitely vacant, dispiriting blank side towards man on which nothing appears, any more than it does on a blank canvas. But no matter how vacant and vain, how dead life may appear to be, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, who knows something, will not be put off so easily.
