Van Gogh on exhibiting


From a letter dated March, 1884:

“ ‘Let your light shine before men,’ is, I believe, the duty of every painter, but in my view it does not mean that letting the light shine before men must be done through exhibitions. Believe me, I just wish there were more and better opportunities than exhibitions to bring art to the people. Far from wanting to hide the light under a bushel, I would sooner let it be seen.”
