About Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

Additional quotes by Vincent van Gogh

I often think of you all, one cannot do what one wants in life. The more you feel attached to a spot, the more ruthlessly you are compelled to leave it, but the memories remain, and one remembers - as in a looking glass, darkly - one's absent friends.

Ah, scumpul meu frate, uneori îmi dau atât de bine seama de ceea ce vreau! Pot foarte bine, în viață ca și în pictură, să mă lipsesc de bunul Dumnezeu, dar nu pot, eu, cel suferind, să mă lipsesc de ceva mult mai mare decât mine, care este viața mea: puterea de-a crea. Și dacă, frustrat de această putere din punct de vedere fizic, încerci să zămislești idei în loc de copii, faci parte, totuși, datorită acestui lucru, dintre oameni.

Quanto più cercheremo di specializzarci in una data attività e in una data arte e adotteremo un metodo di
pensare e di agire relativamente indipendente e ci atterremo a regole fisse, tanto più si rinsalderà il
carattere e non per questo correremo il rischio di fossilizzarci.
È saggio agire così perché la vita è breve e il tempo passa rapidamente: se ci si perfeziona in una cosa
sola in modo da impadronirsene bene si acquista in più la comprensione e la conoscenza di molte altre
cose. [...] Colui che preferisse la solitudine e il lavoro in raccoglimento e si accontentasse di uno scarso
numero di amici, sarebbe proprio quello che, con la massima padronanza, saprebbe vivere con gli altri
uomini.
