Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “When I came here I hoped it would be possible to make some connection with art lovers here, but up to the present I haven’t made the least progress in people’s affection. And Marseilles? I don’t know, but that may very well be nothing but an illusion. In any case I have quite given up gambling much on it. Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for dinner or coffee. And it has been like that from the beginning.” — Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “I am not writing to Gauguin direct, but will send the letter to you, because in any case we had better sit tight.

If he is not keen on it, if it’s all the same to him, if he has something else in mind, let him remain independent and me too.” — Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “But in the course of four months 250 fr. must be deducted for the payment of colours and rent; well, then my work is hampered and obstructed to such an extent that I am at my wit’s end, and I prefer to tell the fellows: Sell the whole lot! But let me work!” — Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “But since then I’ve had no chance of getting models, though on the other hand I did have the chance to study the colour question.

Now, for.” — Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “In short it is not as good as your painting yet; never mind, it will come; you must certainly continue your sonnets. There are so many people, especially among our comrades, who imagine that words are nothing – on the contrary, isn’t it true that saying a thing well is as interesting and as difficult as painting it? There is the art of lanes and colours, but the art of words is there nonetheless, and will remain.” — Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh Quotes: “Did I tell you that I had sent the drawings to friend Russell? At the moment I am doing practically the same ones again for you, there will be twelve likewise.

That accounts for the “haggard” look of the studies.” — Vincent van Gogh
