1:02:03
my money for the month is almost gone.
1:02:05
But it was worth it.
1:02:17
Theo, you'd like this house.
1:02:20
It's yellow on the outside
and filled with sunshine.

1:02:23
Later, two could live in it.
1:02:25
One day, perhaps, Gauguin will come...
1:02:27
and then, who knows,
this might turn into a colony of painters.

1:02:32
I'm up at dawn and out on the road.
1:02:40
Now that summer's begun,
it's all very different here...

1:02:43
from what it was in the spring.
But I love it even more.

1:02:47
Everywhere is old gold, bronze,
and copper.

1:03:09
I wish you could see
these lovely days here, Theo.

1:03:11
But if not, you shall see pictures of them...
1:03:14
for these colors
give me an extraordinary exultation.

1:03:18
The whole earth is glowing
under the southern sun.

1:03:21
Lemon yellow, sulfur yellow,
greenish yellow...

1:03:26
all under a sky blanched with heat.
1:03:30
What a country it is.
1:03:32
It absorbs me so much
that I let myself go...

1:03:36
never thinking of a single rule.
1:03:38
I have no doubts, no limitations.
1:03:41
I'm working like a steam engine,
devouring paints, burning up canvases.

1:03:46
Whole days go by
without my speaking to anyone.

1:03:50
And every day my concentration
becomes more intense...

1:03:53
my hand more sure.
1:03:55
I have a power of color in me
that I never had before.

1:03:58
A sense of breadth and strength.
