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
We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing; if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
Aklımda hep serviler var, ayçiçekleri tablosuna benzer bir şeyde onları kullanmak istiyorum çünkü benim aklımdaki şekilde hâlâ resmedilmemiş olmaları beni hayrete düşürüyor. Servilerin biçimleri ve oranları Mısır dikilitaşları kadar güzel. Yeşilleri o kadar farklı ki. Güneşli bir manzaranın ortasında kara bir leke gibi ama gördüğüm en ilginç siyah tonlarından biri bu ve kafamda canlananı tam olarak yansıtmak çok zor. Ama bir de onları mavinin önünde görmen lazım, hatta mavinin içinde. Her yerde olduğu gibi burada da doğayı resmetmek için uzun süre içinde kalman gerekiyor.

I have a study of a garden, almost a metre wide. Poppies and other red flowers in green in the foreground, then a patch of bluebells.. .At the end, black cypresses against little low white houses with orange roofs .. ..I know very well that not a single flower was drawn, that they're just little licks of colour, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, violet, but the impression of all those colours against one another is nonetheless there in the painting as it is in nature.. .You see that the motif is really summery.
