Van Gogh reflects on art
Van Gogh quote on Art
"All art is a gift. It is first of all a gift that the maker can do it. It is then a gift to someone else, whether they pay for it or not."
Van Gogh quote on Art
"Art is life seeking itself. It is our intractable expressions of love for the beauties, ideas and epiphanies we regularly find."
