Study
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Nuenen, c. 1 June 1885
If Portier will write me his observations, I think they may be useful to me, and he must not hold them back. I must tell you that I sometimes long very much to see the Louvre and the Luxembourg again, and that sooner or later I shall have to study the technique and color of Millet, Delacroix, Corot and others. But it is not immediately urgent; I think the more I work, the greater use it will be to me when it happens someday.
But it is a fact that one needs both nature and pictures.
