Famous quotes containing the words van gogh, van, gogh, les and/or paintings:
“When van Gogh paints sunflowers, he reveals, or achieves, the vivid relation between himself, as man, and the sunflower, as sunflower, at that quick moment of time. His painting does not represent the sunflower itself. We shall never know what the sunflower itself is. And the camera will visualize the sunflower far more perfectly than van Gogh can.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You dont always know if it is green or violet, you cant even say its blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (18531890)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (18531890)
“The deer and the dachshund are one.
Well, the gods grow out of the weather.
The people grow out of the weather;
The gods grow out of the people.
Encore, encore, encore les dieux . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Not Seeing is Believing you ninny, but Believing is Seeing. For modern art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
