As to my brother's not having replied to your letter, I am inclined to think that it is hardly his fault. I myself have not heard from him for a fortnight. The fact is that he is in Holland, where he is getting married one of these days. Well, look here, without denying the least bit in the world the advantages of marriages, once it has been contracted, and of being quietly settled down in one's own home, when I think of the obsequial pomp of the reception and the lamentable congratulations on the part of the two families (still in a state of civilization), not to mention the fortuitous appearances in those ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/19/583b.htm · 16.4k |

However, as on the previous occasion when you went to Holland, it is mostly accidental. I hope that everything has gone off well with you. Meanwhile I have been obliged to ask Tasset for 10 meters of canvas and some tubes. And I still need: 12 Zinc white Big tubes 1 Vermilion Big tubes 1 Emerald 4 Malachite green 2 Cobalt 3 Chrome 1 2 ultramarine 1 Chrome 11 2 Geranium lake Medium tubes I have six studies of the spring, two of them big orchards. It is very urgent, because these effects are so short-lived. So write me by return mail. I've taken an apartment consisting of two little rooms (at 6 to 8 francs per month, water included) belonging to M. Rey. It is certainly not expensive but nothing like as ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/19/584.htm · 23.8k |

You see, I have had to pay the whole bill provisionally, so as to get hold of my belongings, though I stipulated on the receipt that this exorbitant bill should be gone into before the magistrate. I am not sure of winning, though I have undoubted right to a 27 franc deduction, and even then I have no compensation for all the worry which this has caused me. First I ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/486.htm · 17.0k |

It is a sort of nervous affliction with me that on festive occasions I generally find difficulty in formulating good wishes, but you must not conclude from that that I wish you happiness less earnestly than anyone else, as you well know. I have still to thank you for your last letter, as well as for the consignment of paints from Tasset and for several numbers of Le Fifre with drawings by Forain. These last especially had the effect on me of making me see my own stuff as very sentimental beside them. I waited several days before answering, not knowing which day you were leaving for Amsterdam. Besides I do not know either if you are getting married in Breda or in Amsterdam. But if as I am inclined to think it will be in Amsterdam, then I have assumed that you would find this letter there by Sunday. By the way - ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/19/583.htm · 17.5k |

You usually reply as soon as you receive it; if this were not so, I should say that you have had no time for it. I reproach myself with writing you so seldom, but letter-writing is extremely difficult for me lately; I don't know what the reason for it is. I received your last consignment, which was in perfect condition, and which I think extremely beautiful. 1 Are these the things you set aside expressly in order to let them dry? - for in most of these canvases I find more clarity of expression and such a fine general effect. The one with the underbrush and the trees overgrown with ivy, the ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/20/T13.htm · 15.5k |

As to the paints you sent, there are only four large tubes of white, and all the other tubes of white are half-sized. If he has charged for them accordingly, it's all right, but look into it. Four tubes of white at 1 Fr., but the rest ought only to be half-price. I find that his Prussian blue and his cinnabar are bad. The rest are good. Now I must tell you that I am working at 2 pictures of which I want to make copies. The pink peach tree gives me the most trouble. You see from the three squares on the other side of this page that the three orchards make a series, more ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/477.htm · 16.0k |
Vincent van Gogh to Emile Bernard : c. 21 April 1888 » Home < Previous Next > Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Emile Bernard Arles, c. 21 April 1888 Relevant paintings: "Sketch by Vincent," Vincent van Gogh [Enlarge] "Orchard in Blossom," Vincent van Gogh [Enlarge] My dear comrade Bernard, Many thanks for the sonnets you sent me; I very much like the form and the sonorous melody of the first one: Sous les dômes dormeurs des arbres gigantesques. [Beneath the sleeping domes of the gigantic trees.] However, with regard to idea and sentiment it may be that I prefer the last one: Car J'espoir dans mon sein a versé sa névrose. [For hope has poured into my breast its neurosis.] But it seems to me that you do not say clearly enough what you want to make felt - the certainty that one seems to have, and which one can in any case prove, of the nothingness, the emptiness, the betrayal of the desirable good and beautiful things; and that, despite this knowledge, one lets oneself be eternally fooled by the charm which external life, the things outside ourselves, exercises on our six senses, as if one did not know anything, and ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/B04.htm · 18.4k |

I have sent you sketches of the paintings destined for Holland. Of course the painted studies are more brilliant in colour. I'm once again hard at it, still orchards in blossom. The air here certainly does me good. I wish you could fill your lungs with it; one effect it has on me is comical enough - one small glass of cognac makes me tipsy here, so that as I don't have to fall back on stimulants to make my blood circulate, there will be less strain on my constitution. The only thing is that my stomach has been terribly weak since I came here, but after all that's probably only a matter of time. I hope to make great progress this year, and indeed I need to. I have another orchard, as ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/474.htm · 18.7k |

As for the earlier letter with the 50 francs, I got it too, and I wrote you about it the day, or two days, before I sent the two drawings. These drawings were made with a reed sharpened the way you would a goose quill; I intend to make a series of them, and hope to do better ones than the first two. It is a method that I had already tried in Holland some time ago, but I hadn't such good reeds there as here. I have had a letter from Koning, please thank him for it; I shall be very pleased to exchange the two drawings for one of his studies, which you must choose and keep in your collection. I will write him to explain the method ... http://www.webexhibits.org/vangogh/letter/18/478.htm · 18.2k |
