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.

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.
