In a letter to Theo dated about 5 June 1888 Vincent remarks
>"About staying in the south, even if it’s more expensive — Look, we love Japanese painting, we’ve experienced its influence — all the Impressionists have that in common — [so why not go to Japan], in other words, to what is the equivalent of Japan, the south? So I believe that the future of the new art still lies in the south after all."
A month later he wrote,
>"All my work is based to some extent on Japanese art..."
Opinions on this?

Van Gogh was a Weeaboo ahead of his time.

Do you think he ever fapped to any Japanese nude drawings?

They both ignore perspective?
And I guess something about "flow" or something.
Also, they both suck.

my favorite quote by him
>I must warn you that everyone will think that I work too fast.
>Don't you believe a word of it.
>Is it not emotion, the sincerity of one's feeling for nature, that draws us, and if the emotions are sometimes so strong that one works without knowing one works, when sometimes the strokes come with a continuity and a coherence like words in a speech or a letter, then one must remember that it has not always been so, and that in time to come there will again be hard days, empty of inspiration.
>So one must strike while the iron is hot, and put the forged bars on one side.

>>"All my work is based to some extent on Japanese art..."
I doubt this one. His end results look nothing like Japanese art, at least later on.
