Van Der Laan

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or der:

    “When van Gogh paints sunflowers, he reveals, or achieves, the vivid relation between himself, as man, and the sunflower, as sunflower, at that quick moment of time. His painting does not represent the sunflower itself. We shall never know what the sunflower itself is. And the camera will visualize the sunflower far more perfectly than van Gogh can.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Under the lindens on the heather,
    There was our double resting-place.”
    —Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
