Self-Portrait By Vincent Van Gogh ... Looking at the painting you are taken by the look that Van Gogh is giving you, it is as if he may be looking at you or just to your right...

There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to.... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

It is not a certain conformity of manners that the painting of Van gogh attacks, but rather the conformity of institutions themselves. And even external nature, with her climates, her tides, and her equinoctial storms, cannot, after van gogh’s stay upon earth, maintain the same gravitation.
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
