Wheat Field with Alpilles View
"What I’d like to know is the effect of a more intense blue in the sky. Fromentin and Gerome see the earth in the south as colourless, and a whole lot of people saw it that way. My God, yes, if you take dry sand in your hand and if you look at it closely. Water, too, air, too, considered this way, are colourless. No blue without yellow and without orange, and if you do blue, then do yellow and orange as well, surely. Ah well, you’ll tell me that I write you nothing but banalities. Handshake in thought." Vincent To Emile Bernard. Arles, on or about Thursday, 7 June 1888. After returning from Saintes Maries de la Mer
