Artists suicide. The tragic icon.

I do not know, I all went to a complete frenzy. Energy Mad has created an explosion of masterpieces for them nothing would have to be, only emptiness.

It is better to have had nowhere to go, and the event ceased to exist.

Bonnar would compete with him in skill, but not the power. The man who blew up the one-.

  I used to debate with you would be :-).
IMHO, went on the normal development of the artist. Yes, Van Gogh, a year passed something that took another twenty years, partly due to talent, partly due to preoccupation of the absolute in painting, part due to rampant exploitation of the body-lived on coffee, alcohol and tobacco.
 But then, Picasso lived for a couple of years and the style is nothing more than 90 years he lived.
 Skill-issue is quite controversial. IMHO. Yes, Van Gogh - colorist from God, although his decision is the work of the head, rather than spontaneous actions. Madness here and do not smell.
Hence, in some variants of the same portrait. It got to the point of absurdity, he wrote five portraits, almost identical, the wife of a postman. All failed. He may have wanted to prove to myself that this solution will work colorist. It did not work.
Van Gogh - a wonderful draftsman, fast, accurate with his hand, resourceful, for me it was a revelation. The ability to rapidly and accurately draw quickly helped him paint.
All this is true, but that's comparing his friend Gauguin, Gauguin, and we see a more perfect and master of color and technique. It suffices to compare the Pushkin Museum Hall of Gauguin and Van Gogh's work. See how the billiard table is written in a portrait by Gauguin and Arlezianki like Van Gogh. Where Gauguin works with a brush, Van Gogh worked with an ax.
  They are both in their work were in search of paradise. In this particular Gauguin's paradise with birds of paradise, exotic women and tropical fruit on the trees, we need only give this hateful world and migrated to where it is necessary.
 In Van Gogh's paradise illusory, is a way of seeing the world around you, paradise in the house with a leaking roof, among alcoholics, and prostitutes in the wilderness, in the absence of money. Van Gogh tried to be svyaschenosluzhitelem, translated the Bible again, his paintings are full of characters, nothing is written there just like that, all with meaning.
 Sometimes the whole picture - one character.
  Starry Night-Eden. Heaven on Earth. The place where you are now and there is Paradise, we should just be able to see it.
  Sunflowers, flower buds begin to open, the sunflowers in full bloom, dry, ripe, full of seeds, all the twists in the dance of life and death.
 Wheat field in front of the storm-fallen trees smears, only the contrast of yellow, broken by the wind and ultramarine, deep and crows above the abyss.

 Should the painting be technically advanced and sophisticated, reaching the flawless beauty and enjoyment eyes like a Gauguin or a sketchy, hurried, but containing a higher meaning as in the Van Gogh?
 The 20th century has decided in favor of Van Gogh.

 Van Gogh was logically to Fauvism. It has many practical fovistskih works. And he was able to write a bunch of masterpieces, he wrote out, the idea of ​​a gush.

Theme is interesting, moreover, currently reading a book about Prague, especially the chapter on the Czech artists. That's just another artist who committed suicide Antonin Slavichek.

Antonin Slavichek (chesh. Antonín Slavíček, race. May 16, 1870 Prague - the mind. February 1, 1910 Prague) - Czech artist.
In 1887, A. Slavichek arrives in Prague Academy of Arts and studying at the school of landscape painting under Professor Julius Marzhaka with his fellow classmates, Bohuslav Dvorak and Frantisek Kavan. After the death of Professor Slavichek takes his post of head of school. The artist also tried to get the title of professor, but he did not succeed - soon the landscape department was closed. August 10, 1909 at Slavicheka had a stroke, followed by a prolonged reconstructive phase. Since the right hand of the artist was paralyzed, he tried to paint with his left hand, but was so disappointed with the results that soon shot. Slavicheka wife, Bohumil Brynihova, which he depicted in his paintings of many, in 1911 she married the artist Herbert Masaryk. The son of Antonina and Jan Slavichek, was also an artist.
A. Slavichek is among the leading Czech artists of the early twentieth century. His early paintings were written in realistic style, the artist was a master of chiaroscuro. In his later works, feel familiarity with the works of A. Slavicheka representatives of French Impressionism - did not, however, the skill of the Czech artist of significant influence. In his most recent paintings already manifested A. Slavichekom drawn his own original style. Particularly good artist landscapes of his beloved Highlands region.

Already, apparently, could not write, and no money saved up.

Who knows, if he could remain silent, that it cut off his ear Gauguin (recently flashed such information, but did not find - where), then it could easily hide.

Somehow I stumbled on an interesting and valuable material collected with great care.

Age and reason (sort of) death, writers, artists, musicians, doctors.
 
But for some reason the author of Artists and Composers of suicide can not find or did not mention

Here's the address:

Louis-Leopold Robert

French painter and engraver, a Swiss by birth.
Louis-Leopold was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Canton Neuchâtel) in Switzerland, but at the age of sixteen, he and the engraver Charles-Samuel Girardet (Charles Samuel Girardet, 1780-1863) went to Paris where he settled with the 1783 Senior Girardet of the brothers - Abraham (Abraham Girardet, November 30, 1764 - January 2, 1823).
In Paris, Louis-Leopold began to study at the Academy, went on to study at Girardet. In 1815, one of the engravings of Robert was nominated for the Grand Prix competition of the Academy, but this is the year due to political and military actions the Swiss canton of Neuchatel landowners recognized the Prussian Hohenzollern monarchs her, and this area of ​​Switzerland moved into personal union of the Prussian crown. Once this happened, Robert was removed from the list of contestants and nominees, as a foreigner.
The artist continued his studies at Girardet and began attending the studio of the famous Jacques-Louis David. After the defeat of Napoleon's armies and the return to power of the Bourbons, the rulers could not forgive his loyalty to David Jacobin Napoleon and friendship during the Revolution with Robespierre, and especially the fact that he voted for the execution of Louis XVI. David was sent into exile and sent to Brussels, then Robert also returned to their homeland.
In his native Neuchâtel artist for his work attracted the attention of Ruel de Mezeraka, who made a sweeping gesture - a loan for a trip to Italy. In Italy, Robert wrote genre scenes from the lives of ordinary Italians, he wrote vividly the nature of southern Italy and folk customs.
While in Italy, Louis-Leopold learned of the suicide of his brother, the pain of loss will accompany him to the end.
After some time, Robert thought of four large paintings that represent the four seasons in Italy, and representatives of the people across the country. The first work was the painting "Return of the Madonna del Arco holiday» (Return from the Fkte of the Madonna dell'Arco), in which the artist depicted the spring feast and make merry Neapolitans.

The next series theme "Seasons" were to be residents of Florence and autumn vineyards. The artist began work, but at this time in his life's great, but it's unrequited love. Louis-Leopold began giving lessons in drawing the niece of Napoleon Bonaparte Princess Charlotte Gabrielli, whose husband - Prince Mario Gabrielli - was a devoted friend and patron, Robert.
Tormented by a sense of duty to Mario, seeing the indifference of most of Charlotte and is unable to conquer his passion, the artist started painting abandoned and left for Venice. There he proceeded to the fourth film in the series, which decided to depict a winter seascape and Venetian fishermen work Robert called "Fishermen Adriatic".
But the work was not finished, bitterly experiencing the lost illusions of being in a terrible depression, Robert committed suicide right in front of an easel March 20, 1835.
He cut his throat with a spatula to paint.

This happened exactly a decade after the death of his brother. If Louis-Leopold was able to foresee that in five years, Charlotte will become a widow, perhaps he made his fatal deed?
Critics put forward the theory that unrequited love is only provoked the suicide of the artist, they say, judging by the fate of his brother Robert had a severe mental heredity.
Whatever it was, the artist died at the age of forty, leaving a legacy of the descendants of paintings and engravings that adorn the best museums of the world today.
