Bram van Velde on Vincent van Gogh

“Van Gogh.. .In this world of petty calculations, he was too intense. He frightened people. They cast him out.”

“About Van Gogh.. ..a man who is on fire, a torch. His sincerity is absolute. His best painting is the grain field where he kills himself. There we find ourselves at the border of the art of painting. We cannot go further.”
