VINCENT VAN GOGH:
Excerpts from the Letters


NATURE AND ART
To Theo, Arles, n.d. [ca. August 1888]


At all events, law and justice apart, a pretty woman is a living marvel, whereas
the picture by da Vinci and Correggio only exist for other reasons. Why am I so
little an artist that I always regret that the statue and the picture are not alive
Why do I understand the musician better, why do I see the raison d'etre of his
