" "People are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don't know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage. I do know that there is a release, the belated release. A justly or unjustly ruined reputation, poverty, disastrous circumstances, misfortune, they all turn you into a prisoner. You cannot always tell what keeps you confined, what immures you, what seems to bury you, and yet you can feel those elusive bars, railings, walls. Is all this illusion, imagination? I don't think so. And then one asks: My God! will it be for long, will it be for ever, will it be for eternity?
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.

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.

This winter I met a pregnant woman [ Sien / Christine ] deserted by the man whose child she bore. A pregnant woman who in winter had to walk the streets, had to earn her bread, you understand how. I took that woman for a model, and have worked with her all the winter. I could not pay her the full wages of a model, but that did not prevent my paying her rent, and, thank God, I have been able thus far to protect her and her child from hunger and cold, by sharing my own bread with her.. .It seems to me that every man worth his salt would have done the same in a similar case. What I did was so simple and natural, that I thought I could keep it to.
