Famous quotes containing the word van:

    “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)
