00:00Vincent, I've just spent a year painting my brains out.
00:04I sacrificed everything. Execution, effect, all the things that come easiest to me.
00:08Or a style. A style that'll convey the mood of what I see.
00:12The idea, without regard for concrete reality.
00:16What do you paint, then?
00:17What's in my head? Art's an abstraction, not a picture book.
00:21A painting is a flat surface, covered with lines and colors, arranged in certain order.
00:26But, Theo, I mean, Paul, what about the arrangements that exist in nature?
00:30I choose to disregard nature.
00:32What I'm after are harmonies.
00:34Harmonies of pure color.
00:36Deliberately composed and carefully calculated that move you as music moves you.
00:41But then you deny the greatest artists of all.
00:44Rembrandt, Rubens, Delacroix, Millet.
00:47Millet?
00:50Millet?
00:51That calendar artist with his dun-colored tones and sentimental incibilities.
00:55How dare you say that?
00:57Millet's one of the few artists that ever really captured the human spirit.
01:01Yeah.
01:01And the dignity of toil.
01:04Millet uses paint to express the word of God.
01:06Well, then he should have been a preacher, not a painter.
01:08There's one thing I despise, it's emotionalism in painting.
01:12Vincent, painting...
01:13Is for painters.
01:14Like your friend Deg, I suppose, who's done nothing but ballet dancers and racehorses for the last ten years.
01:19You can learn something from him. You can learn control.
01:21I don't want control. I'm not afraid of emotion.
01:24When I paint the sun, I want to make people feel it revolving, giving off light and heat.
01:28When I paint a present in the field, I want to feel the sun pouring into him like it does in the coral.
01:33Is that what you think you're doing when you overload your brush?
01:35When you slap paint on like putty?
01:36When you make your trees rise like snakes and your sun explode all over the canvas?
01:40With all your talk and emotion, what I see when I look at your work is just that you're painting too fast.
01:44You look too fast!
01:50Whatever you say, Brigadier, dear.
01:54Maybe you're right.
01:59Maybe we need another drink.
