| | Cafe Terrace at Night, 1888, Kroller-Muller Sttichting, Otterlo (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In my picture of the "Night Café" I have tried to express the idea that the café is a please where one can ruin oneself, go mad or commit a crime. |
 | | So I have tried to express, as it were, the powers of darkness in a low public house, by soft Louis XV green and malachite, contrasting with yellow-green and harsh blue-greens, and all this in an atmosphere like a devil's furnace, of pale sulphur. |
 | | Not that I am so keen on it, but in order that the studies should not be confused with finished compositions, and so as to announce in advance that the second exhibition will be one of studies. |
