梵高以鑑賞畫作的心態閱讀,嘴嚼精緻的文字,他曾說過:「作家就是用文字繪畫」。書是梵高的精神食糧,這位偉大的畫家創作時也不忘把他的愛書入畫,除了畫閱讀的人外,他也不時以書作為創作的元素。

1885年,梵高的父親因病去世,他在父親死後不久畫了一幅《Still Life with Bible》,這幅畫某種程度上象徵了這對父子的關係。在畫中,桌上放着一本巨大並打開的聖經,這本聖經是他的牧師父親的;聖經旁邊橫放著一本小小的書,那是法國自然主義作家Emile Zola的《生之趣》(La Joie de vivre)。

他在法國生活的最後的一年,畫了五幅他好友Marie Ginoux 的油畫人像,其中一張半身像前面放了兩本法文翻譯的小說,就是他最愛的狄更斯《聖誕頌歌》和美國作家Harriet Beecher Stowe的《湯姆叔叔的小屋》。如前文所述,狄更斯是梵高最愛作家之一,他曾列出抗自殺的三件神器:葡萄酒、麵包與乳酪,以及一支煙斗。梵高1889年所畫的《Board, Pipe, Onions and Sealing Wax》,估計是向狄更斯致敬。

農夫及老人家一定目不識丁嗎?梵高1881年就畫了坐在火爐邊看書的農夫《Farmer Seated At the Fireside》,1882年畫了看書的老人《Old Man Reading》。

除了人與書,也有花與書。1888年,梵高畫了《Vase with Oleanders and Books》,前一年他在巴黎則畫了玫瑰花與小說《Still Life with Plaster Statuette, a Rose and Two Novels》。
