To me, Van Gogh is the finest painter in the world. Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color, the most magnificent. He transformed the pain in his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world—no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence is not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.

"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love."
— Claude Monet (via tender)
"A painter who loves his art should carefully avoid spending too much time with critics and literary people. These individuals, probably unintentionally, deform things by trying to explain everything, taking thought, will, and artistic sensitivities and shearing them just as Delilah sheared Samson."
