Vincent van Gogh by Vincent van Gogh

Van Gogh is the incarnation of the suffering, a misunderstood martyr of modern art and the emblem of the artist as an outsider.

but we are still far from the time when people will understand the curious relation between one fragment of nature and another, which all the same explain each other and enhance each other.

I would not value life at all, if there were not something infinite, something deep, something real.”[

Van Gogh neither despised life nor was he its master.
