Van Gogh on his life’s mission — 7 Comments

  1. I’m a writer (largely unpublished as of this writing), not a painter; but I can identify.

  2. I love Van Gogh, and his writings only make me appreciate his paintings more. I can only pray, in the after world, Van Gogh was able to see how much his works touched the world, it had to help his tortured soul.

  3. Thank you for posting this! I am always intrigued by the dichotomy of Van Gogh’s vision vs the disinterest of his time and the subsequent embrace of his work as the most popular and beloved of artists. In his isolation from the conventional and academic strictures of his era he was able to express a seemingly universal humanity.

  4. Edgar Allen Poe wrote some words–well worth reading–on the theme “My Heart Laid Bare.” Maybe Van Gogh came as close as anyone to painting that.

  5. What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and never will have, in short, the lowest of the low.

    that pretty much describes me…

    except that i doubt my paintings, art, science stuff, chip designs and so on will go anywhere…

    just waiting to die…
