"Happy Birthday to me. I never had a proper birthday to this day. I'm lost as to what the day should be, what I should do or eat. Or simply, I just don't have anyone but myself everyday. So, happy birthday to me." . "Art is the supreme task and the truly metaphysical activity in this life..." . #March30th_isme #VanGoghGang

"I guess my health is improving a little, at least in that I can digest my food a little better. But it always remains unsteady, and it varies from one day to the next. I have finished another drawing from a cast, and since I wrote you that the teacher had let me know indirectly that it had not been his intention to offend me, there has been no further trouble between us, and he even said that today's drawing hardly needed any correction of the proportions, and none at all of the tone. So I almost dare to hope that I shall also manage to get along with Cormon, whatever he may be like, and that makes me long the more to be there. Well, if I may have some luck with my health, I hope to make some progress this year." (In 1886) . #VanGoghGang
. Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum (September, 1888 in Arles) #tb #masterpiece . Method: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 81cm x 65.5cm (31.9in x 25.8in) Location: Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo Van Gogh's Age: 35 yrs . "So far you have not told me whether you have read Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant, and what in general you think of his talent now. I say this because the beginning of Bel Ami happens to be a description of a starlight night in Paris with the brightly lighted cafés of the Boulevard, and this is approximately the same subject I just painted. (From Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh 9th and 16th September, 1888) . "In point of fact I was interrupted these days by my toiling on a new picture representing the outside of a café at night. On the terrace there are the tiny figures of drinkers. An immense yellow lantern illuminates the terrace, the façade and the sidewalk, and even casts its light on the pavement of the streets, which takes a pinkish violet tone. The gables of the houses in the street stretching away under a blue sky spangled with stars are dark blue or violet with a green tree. Here you have a night picture without black in it, done with nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green, and lemon-yellow. It amuses me enormously to paint the night right on the spot. They used to draw and paint the picture in the daytime after the sketch. But I find satisfaction in painting the thing immediately" (From Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh 9th and 16th September, 1888) . #Live #Life #Love #Laugh #VanGoghGang
