Famous quotes containing the words van and/or leer:
“I can’t work without a model. I won’t say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
“Don’t leer at him
with half-glances.
Look at him naturally,
so you can see him well.
That way,
you’ll be taken for a virgin.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
