Speaking of why people respond Vincent Van Gogh's paintings.
"...in our society where so many feelings are not allowed or are repressed, works of art which show the feelings simply bursting out could be very releasing and I wonder if it's something to do with the sheer power of the feelings in his works, which have made them so universally popular."
On Van Gogh as an artist:
"I think Vincent was a very great artist, he followed his own feelings his own intuitions which is what an artist is supposed to do, and he followed them to the nth degree."
