:22:00
What do you think
they're saying in the village?
:22:02
I act out of my beliefs, Father.
Not because I want to please the village.
:22:05
I happen not to believe
in the God or the clergymen.
:22:08
For me, he's as dead as a doornail.
:22:09
Children, if you've finished,
leave the table, please.
:22:12
Go into the other room.
:22:19
Vincent, before the children?
:22:22
Do you realize what you said?
:22:24
Yes, Mother. But I must say what I feel.
:22:28
I'm not an atheist. I do believe in God.
:22:31
A God of love, Father, and I believe
there are many ways to serve him.
:22:34
One man does it from a pulpit,
another through a book or a painting.
:22:38
Let's not discuss it.
:22:45
I'm sorry, Father,
but I was just telling you my opinion.
:22:50
Did you have a good morning
in the fields, Vincent?
:22:53
Like any other.
:22:55
Do you feel the drawing's going well?
:22:58
You work so hard and...
:23:00
I can't help noticing
you go over and over your drawings...
:23:03
and often as not, you throw them away.
:23:05
What Mother means is, we'd hate
to see you keep struggling, Vincent...
:23:10
only to realize in the end,
it was just another failure.
:23:12
Maybe he could visit Cousin Mauve
in The Hague. He's a successful artist.
:23:16
Ask him his opinion of your drawings.
I'm sure he'd be glad to help you.
:23:20
I'm not ready to show my work to Mauve.
When I am, I'll go to him.
:23:30
I'm sorry, Vincent.
:23:33
- How's Jan?
- He's all right. Thank you.
:23:40
I'm glad you're here, Kay.
:23:43
Please, Theo, send more paper
and drawing ink.
:23:46
I'm afraid I quickly used up
what you sent last month.
:23:49
As I work at my drawings day after day...
:23:52
what seemed unattainable before...
:23:55
is now gradually becoming possible.
:23:57
Slowly, I'm learning
to observe and measure.
