Letter to Theo
“You must boldly exaggerate the effects of either harmony or discord which colour produces. It is the same as in drawing – accurate drawing, accurate colour, is perhaps not the essential thing to aim at, because the reflection of reality in a mirror, if it could be caught, colour and all, would not be a picture at all, no more than a photograph.”
Vincent van Gogh
