Aklımda hep serviler var, ayçiçekleri tablosuna benzer bir şeyde onları kullanmak istiyorum çünkü benim aklımdaki şekilde hâlâ resmedilmemiş olmaları… - Vincent van Gogh
" "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.

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
In Antwerp I did not even know what the Impressionists were, now I have seen them and though not being one of the club, yet I have much admired certain Impressionist pictures – Degas, nude figure – Claude Monet, landscape. And now for what regards what I myself have been doing, I have lacked money for paying models, else I had entirely given myself to figure painting but I have made a series of colour studies in painting simply flowers, red poppies, blue corn flowers and myosotys. White and rose roses, yellow chrysantemums – seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, yellow and violet, seeking THE BROKEN AND NEUTRAL TONES to harmonise brutal extremes. Trying to render intense COLOUR and not a grey harmony.
It is hard, terribly hard, to keep on working when one does not sell, and one literally has to pay for one's colors from what would not be too much for eating, drinking and lodgings, calculated ever so strictly. And then, besides, the models.. .All the same they are building State museums, and the like, for hundreds of thousands, but meanwhile, the artists can go to the dogs.

There are things which we feel to be good and true, though in the cold light of reason and calculation many things remain incomprehensible and dark. And though the society in which we live considers such actions thoughtless, or reckless, or I don't know what else, what can we say if once the hidden forces of sympathy and love have been roused in us? And though it may be that we cannot argue against the reasoning sentiment and to act from impulse, one would almost conclude that some people have cauterized certain sensitive nerves within them, especially those which, combined, are called conscience. Well, I pity those people; they travel through life without compass, in my opinion.
