Self-portrait, Antwerp 1885/86. Property of the Vincent Van Gogh Foundation, City Museum, Amsterdam.
I have a book, Vincent Van Gogh As Seen By Himself. I’d like to share pages and what was written across, somehow the words say something about the painting. I’m not sure if I want to keep the book or sell it on Ebay. At the moment, I’ll be posting a series of what you can see in the book. (I did not find the same book online.) In case you want to buy it, make an offer.
From a letter to his brother:
“I prefer drawing human eyes to painting cathedrals. For deep in a human eye there’s something that a cathedral does not have — however impressive and solemn it may be. I am more interested in the human soul, be it the soul of a poor devil or that of a harlot, than in structures.”

Awesome site! Is your theme customized built or perhaps did you download that from someplace? A style like yours by easy adjustements would likely actually make my personal blog leap out and about. Make sure you let me know in which you obtained your design and style. Many thanks a lot…
