Van Gogh’s work isn’t prolific because of technical skill, but for his purposeful use of color to capture a scene, rather than detail. He wrote, “I don’t try to do us by photographic resemblance but by our passionate expressions, using...our science and modern taste for colour.”
Haixia Liu, 1962, (left) paints Van Gogh more skillfully than Van Gogh (right). Should expose how overrated Van Gogh is.

Vincent is often described as a passionate artist with fiery emotions. But is this a fair description? He often wrote about his plans, which were sometimes rather wild. Many of these plans came to nothing, but Vincent never gave up! He shook himself off and made fresh plans.

Van Gogh often drank absinthe, which was a popular drink amongst artists and performers in the 19th century. It was also called ‘the green fairy’. The drink contained a substance called thujon, present in wormwood, which was supposed to make you hallucinate.

I was seventeen when Vincent van Gogh painted me in my yellow coat with black hat and white necktie. He had captured my emotions of uncertainty and hope. ed.gr/80zv #Vangogh

Until the end Van Gogh painted in spite of his illness, not because of it... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ed.gr/bp8hj #vangogh #artist
"Vincent had captured my emotions of uncertainty and hope. I still saw myself that way. Now at age twenty-four I wondered if I'd ever see my painting again." ed.gr/80zu #Vangogh
