Distance can change your perspective, too. So can time.

– Deborah Heiligman

This from chapter 48, “The Perspective Frame”. Here the author Deborah Heiligman is describing Vincent’s struggles with mastering perspective. He’s using a perspective frame to help him outline proportions, and I’m guessing to find the vanishing point. At this time Vincent isn’t yet referring to himself as an artist. His perspective on this will change, with time.
