Note(48)Van Gogh &Gauguin

Vincent and I generally agree very little especially about painting. He admires Daudet,Daubigny, Ziem,and the great Rousseau,all people whom I can not bear.And on the contrary he detests Ingres,Raphael,Degas,all people whom I admire.......He loves my pictures very much,but when I make them he always finds I am wrong in this or that.He is romantic and I rather inclined to the primitive state.—Paul Gauguin
Van Gogh:Daudet,Daubigny, Ziem,and the great Rousseau—romantic
