“Why aren’t you painting? To me, this scene is beyond belief. A scene that looks like a painting does not make a painting. If you take the time and look closely, all of nature has its own beauty. And when that natural beauty is there, I just lose myself in it. And then, as if it’s in a dream, the scene just paints itself for me. Yes! I consume this natural setting. I devour it completely and whole. And then when I’m through, the picture appears before me complete. But it’s so difficult to hold it inside.”
Vincent Van Gogh, from Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.
