VINCENT VAN GOGH:
Excerpts from the Letters


IMAGINATION
To Emile Bernard, Arles, April 1888 (B3, p. 478)

can lead us to the creation of a more exalting and consoling nature than the single
brief glance at reality-Which in our sight is ever changing, passing like a flash of
lightning--can let us perceive.


A starry sky, for instance-look, that is something I should like to try
to do, just as in the daytime I am going to try to paint a green meadow Spangled
