reading of Van Gogh
 

reading a little bit of Van Gogh and come to these conclusions:

 It is true that Van Gogh was undervalued during his lifetime. The fact is that the fact that his fame then, he wrote in the last and penultimate year of life. T e, even with the current state of the media he did not have time to become famous during his lifetime.
Considering the many works even made in Arles, you see a good artist, but no more. Here I brought some pictures of his early life in Arles. Would you buy? You would recognize in them genius? I personally - no, these trees, gardens, normally tightly written, members of the Union of Artists of Russia and Ukraine to produce hundreds. Sign is Ivan Puquina and nobody even looks, not what to buy.
And in letters describing the nature and bloom-just Ax and Ox, and the canvases-thing something small and serovatenkoe ... I understand this is Vincent, with a nature that it was no use and was right Delacroix (which he initially condemned for such a simple color schemes) that a combination of lemon-yellow, and blue-thing that should be public, that works. And then Vincent went to rewrite everything, without looking at the nature and basis of purely decorative purposes, so it was a bright, juicy and figuratively. Sometimes this leads to the brink of kitsch-famous Starry Night with the sun, moon and stars with rays of example. The forum was the theme that Dr. Gachet dim, dingy, it is a fake, but bright and shiny as a Christmas tree is a genuine Van Gogh. Here on this path Vincent and walked away. And all was obtained. And the public would have liked, but not with the same speed, it is - understood, wrote and died. The power of Van Gogh that he put his bright combination difficult, constantly on the verge of collapse mentality, coupled with highest profurovnem.
My conclusion, the audience is always right, Vincent and Theo would be good, just the health подкачало from their families.

Regarding bedstvovaniya. From a modern point of view, all this seems strange ... Yes, he constantly complains of poverty, and sees his impoverished surroundings, messy and strange. We read, he took home, but goes to sleep at the hotel! because the house Neustroyev ... Paying for both. He complained of poor food, they have fried potatoes has been questioned in these cafes, restaurants, clear noodles and rice ... T e he ate at home! He subsisted exclusively in the cafe. A very weak roast potatoes? I decided to go to Marseilles, buy yourself some new shirts, pants FEW. He walks into a brothel. So what is the poverty of the French, we do not understand ...

Oh no, why not fully understood. You forget that this 19 century, it had no servants, not his home, no annuity, etc., that vobschem, then the mean poverty. In addition, make allowances for the fact that as a person more sensitive it strengthens description misfortunes.

Yes, in your case clearly reflects the principle that a person sees only the information that corresponds to his opinion had already been made.:) But the bright colors and decorative, not only are not required criteria of a masterpiece, but do not guarantee sales success.:)

oh, I do not know ... Right away on the mind and not come Bestsellers Not decorative and inconspicuous. Picasso-bright and easy to color, bacon-bright, all 140 million Americans over-bright, Doig, bright, of course bright-Kandinsky, Malevich.

Dim - Natta Konysheva. The result we know.

fross, any opinion once added together, T e is the logical processing of incoming information. There will be other information-formed a different opinion. What happened to Van Gogh - or you are not familiar with the rows copied them to work?
That's because in the end to which he came, and that gave him recognition from the public --

Do you sincerely believe that only through the bright colors and they become famous? The brightness of color only attract attention, but to keep him, but still so long and so many spectators, decoration and brightness is quite insufficient. All of the selected authors were primarily very intelligent, talented and worked very hard on creating their own styles, rather than copying others and even in bright colors.:)

fross, from anyone, but from you I did not expect platitudes!

I am from you, I confess, too, did not expect such a superficial perception of the experience of predecessors, and the conclusions that you came well totally banal, full of originality, while repeat exactly Paul:)
