Vincent Van Gogh Canvas Quotations

Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the truly passionate painter who dares-and who has once broken the spell of 'you can't.'

The canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerises some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves.

Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.

Just dash something down if you see a blank canvas staring at you with a certain imbecility. You do not know how paralyzing it is, that staring of a blank canvas which says to the painter: you don't know anything.
