:53:02
You are so busy
imitating each other's tricks...
:53:04
you've forgotten what painting is about.
:53:07
You all make me sick.
:53:08
What doesn't make you sick, Paul,
besides your own work?
:53:11
Would you really like to know? That.
:53:17
Look at that. The clarity, the calm.
:53:20
The Japanese paint
as simply as we breathe.
:53:22
- Maybe they pay for their paints.
- Who is he?
:53:24
Paul Gauguin.
:53:25
You have to go halfway around the world
to find something you like?
:53:28
I don't have to leave this shop.
Look at that. And that.
:53:32
- And that, and that.
- Cézanne.
:53:36
- Yes. Cézanne.
- Yes. Cézanne.
:53:39
King of the unsaleables.
:53:41
I suppose you call this painting...
:53:43
Give me that painting!
:53:53
Yes. It's direct, it's vigorous.
:53:56
- What's your name?
- Vincent van Gogh.
:53:58
He has a statement to make
and he makes it. Theo's brother?
:54:01
Glad to know you. It's honest.
:54:04
It owes nothing to anybody. Nothing.
:54:07
Because it has nothing.
No tone, no values...
:54:10
- No color relations.
- Sense of space.
:54:12
The little men are at it again.
My friend, will you join me in a drink?
:54:15
- What about the 112 francs?
- Lady, go back to your kitchen.
:54:19
Get back.
:54:21
You see, down there the sun invades you,
gets into your blood.
:54:25
Not that Martinique was a paradise.
:54:27
Between hunger and fever,
I was lucky to get out alive.
:54:31
But if I could, I'd go back there tomorrow.
:54:35
- How long you been in Paris?
- Over a year.
:54:38
How can you stand it?
I can't work here. It strangles me.
:54:41
- Where would you go?
- Brittany.
:54:43
There's a place up there I can stay.
It's just a hole, but it's all I can afford.
:54:47
Wouldn't you miss your friends in Paris?
:54:49
Friends? A woman or two, maybe.
:54:53
When you start as late as I did,
you find yourself measuring...
:54:56
who and what you give your time to.
:54:58
Friends, comforts, family.
