Starry Night
Reminder: If you’ll see any wrong information about my post, please correct me so that I can change it.
Have you ever heard about Vincent Van Gogh? He was born on 1980 in Netherlands. This artist has a very unique way in making his artworks. All of his life he did nothing but to practice, to paint, to look for inspirations, new techniques, new models and more. All for the sake of his creation. Until the day when he met this guy, who challenge him in making paintings. Vincent failed in that match so he cut off part of his left ear as a sign of defeat and gave it to his prostitute friend.
Yes he is mad. No body appreciate his works. Ever since of his life, he had only sell one painting which is, The Red Vineyard, created in 1888. It is now on display in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. He did everything, he went different places, he studied at different schools, but still nothing. Nobody likes his works.
On July 27, 1890, at the age of 37, after a fit of painting activity, his depression got worst. Van Gogh shot himself in the chest. He died two days later, with Theo his brother at his side, who reported his last words as “La tristesse durera toujours”, which means “The sadness will last forever”.
So sad right? If I was born during his time, I would definitely be his number fan! I love his works. I love his paintings. When it comes to colors on canvass, I like it better when it’s abstract.
Here are some of his works. And yeah, by the way, the song Vincent by Don McLean was dedicated to him. Please do have a look. The song explains everything about his life. Starry Night, which was said in the song was one of his famous paintings, the one in the thumbnail. This will only consume four minutes and 12 seconds of your time. Please do take a look on the famous Vincent Van Gogh creations.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free, perhaps they’ll listen now.
Vincent van Gogh’s mother threw away quite a number of his paintings during Vincent’s life and even after his death. But she would live long enough to see her son become a world famous painter.
Do you know anything about Vincent Van Gogh?
Do you appreciate his works?

He has a unique sense of style when it comes to his artworks even though he said it was not appreciated maybe because in his time there are so many artist too that is really famous but If we take a look on his artworks you can see that his works has so many meaning on it even though it was simple stated by title itself anyway I have never heard about him yet I really appreciate his work since I love to discover new thing about arts this one is really an informative post mami

aw.. nag-goosebumbs ako while reading the last part of it. :( I don’t think na panget ang mga works nya. sobrang ganda kaya. haaay.. talagang love nya ang paggawa ng artworks. I remember my dad singing that song. And he once told me to whom it is dedicated. pero I was too young that time kaya hindi ko din sya naintindihan. haha

Van Gogh is one of my favorite artist. Too bad nga lang he died early. If people were able to appreciate his works at that time I know he’d do a lot more fascinating and stunning works of art. Me too if I was born at his time I’d definitely love his w0rks and be his num 1 fan, als0. :D mwaa~

Vincent van Gogh got crazy daw.. He was like cutting his ears and yeah the song starry starry night is dedicated to him and there was a line on that song which says “blah
you suffer on your insanity”.. 
anyhoo, the haircut cost 500 there but they gave that to me for free and the hair manicure for my hair cost 3k I think? But I juz payed 1,500 coz of the discount I got out of looking korean daw and having the surname Lee..
I wanna try the digital perm/korean curl.,. 5k pag medium ang hair, pero pag long 6-7k ata pag extra long idk

A lot of fine arts students based their artworks on Van Gogh last semester 
. Good thing my school loves art (thats why I chose this school) :D I really like your blog especially the topics about “arts” 
all are interesting… He is like the master of techniques…

People don’t usually appreciate someone or something a person has done until they’re gone. It’s a sad, true fact about life. The only thing I can say about Van Gogh is that at least, though it is late, people now appreciate his works. :)
Don McLean’s awesome, isn’t he? He wrote American Pie for Buddy Holly, too, and the other two who died at the plane crash on “the day that music died”.
Keep safe always!

I do believe that the name Vincent Van Gogh is very familiar with a lot of people. it’s obvious that he’s a well-known artist. I’m not too familiar with his works except for the one you posted but I do think that i’ve seen some really famous artworks and that I just didn’t know that he was the one who did it :p

I like Vincent Van Gogh’s works. All of them are pretty amazing and they reflect who he is.
I studied about his life in humanities. There were so many stories about the truth behind him cutting his ear of. The one I heard was him loving the girl but couldn’t get her attention. So binigay niya yung ear niya as a symbol of like “please listen”.
Sad noh? Too bad nobody appreciated him before. Now he is one of the most celebrated painters of our time
