What are Vincent Van Goghs most favorite Quotes?
"I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate." "A good picture is equivalent to a good deed." "An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly
must have a warm heart for his fellow men." "The diseases that we civilized people labor under most are melancholy and pessimism." "There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even-the French air clears up the brain and does good-a world of good.""If ... boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?" "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." "There is no blue without yellow and without orange." "It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to.... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures." "I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true." "We spend our whole lives in unconscious exercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words."

What design of elements did Vincent van Gogh use in his paintings?
Harmony
The style of painting same throughout and the control of the cool colors, especially around the perimeter of the painting, helps to unify the composition. The repetition of lines also helps to create a sense of harmony
Variety
the different colors and direction of the lines create variety in this painting. Contrast of temperature also helps.
Balance
This painting is asymmetrical since all the sides are unequal. There is a balance between positive and negative space, however.
Attention
the attention is on van Gogh's face. The shape of the eye created by the lines of the background focus in on the head, and its warm colors contrast with the rest of the composition, drawing the eye to itself. The lack of detail in the rest of the painting also serves to emphasize the head.
Emphasis
There are no objects in the background, and the clothing and palette lack detail, making the face the most detailed part of the composition. It is not a sophiscated component; rather it places emphasis on the emotional aspect of the painting.
