Famous quotes containing the words van gogh, van and/or gogh:

    “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)

    “Don’t you hear his cannons roar?
    We’ll be Orangemen no more
    Says the Shan Van Vocht.”
    —Unknown. The Shan Van Vocht (l. 10–12)

    “Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
