Re: Van Gogh Starry Night

I never appreciated Van Gogh's paintings till I visited a gallery, in Amsterdam, that only showed his work.
The emotions he was feeling, at the time of painting each, were very obvious. What a shame that his talent was only recognized when he was no longer able to enjoy the fruits of his work!

That is very true.

Was it worth the mental misery he went through just to paint?
Could anything be worth that?

Re: Van Gogh Starry Night

A lovely post.
Visited Arles a few years ago where Vincent spent son years- No wonder that he painted there - the light was extraordinary

The monastery of Ste, Paul de Mausole in Arles where Vincent sought help.



The cloisters



The garden of Arles Sanitorium where Vincent was sent to after his time of anxiety and madness. Not quite the view from his window but close enough to his painting.

I have always believed that his painting was his way to express his feelings , rather that cause them! As I walked through the gallery, that displayed many of his paintings, I went through emotions from " oh that is a nice picture" to some that made me think "oh god, how sad he must have been to paint this".
When an artist can project his feelings, through his art, I see it as a very worthwhile talent.....and one that may have helped him deal with his problems, before he felt his only option was suicide!

Re: Van Gogh Starry Night

I would love to go to see that exhibition. I hope it comes somewhere near to me.

I think Don Mclean did a good job of describing van-gogh and his feelings when he wrote Vincent.
