“I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly'”
— Vincent Van Gogh
Simplified Meaning:
When someone creates art, they often do it to share their emotions and experiences with others. This person wants their art to connect with people in such a way that the audience can sense how much emotion and sensitivity went into creating it. Think of a song that makes you cry or a painting that makes you feel peaceful. The artist's goal is for people to understand their deep feelings by experiencing their work. If someone looks at a piece of their art and feels moved or touched, the artist has successfully communicated their emotions. It's like wanting to give people a glimpse of your heart and mind, hoping it resonates with their own feelings. By connecting with others this way, the artist helps people feel less alone and more understood.
