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.
Can't really see much of a japanese influence in his style desu.

Do you think he ever fapped to any Japanese nude drawings?
>>2520448
They both ignore perspective?
And I guess something about "flow" or something.
Also, they both suck.

Of course he fapped, pic related, just took a much better imagination.

What are his best tree paintings?
Van Gogh a shit
Blossoming Chesnut tree
Mulberry
Olive
>interned at the Met, can you imagine it?
>>2520438
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.
>>2520438
>>"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.
Look at this weeaboo trash. Look at those eyes. Rembrandt trying to draw some kawaii motherfucker or something.
