When I learned Van Gogh's paintings in art classes in primary and junior high schools in China, it didn't have much influence. However, the bright yellow sunflower was unforgettable until I saw it again in the cinema. The strange thing was that there was no feeling of deja vu, nor boredom.
"Van Gogh is probably the loneliest person in the world", this sentence has been lingering in my mind when watching movies. In the film, Dai Fook plays Van Gogh who is impoverished, but insists on the basic sentiments of an artist without too many choices. A weird person in the eyes of others actually has a childlike stubborn stubborn arrogance and innocent romance. Every day, I walk through the vast fields to find and record "beauty" from nature. He said that the beauty of flowers is short-lived, and only art can maintain the eternal beauty, at least it will be longer than short-lived.
Van Gogh was destined to be alone for a lifetime, and struggled to bear his own insignificance. In the real world, he did not have all the things that make people feel "big" (famous, money, marriage, mansion, health). But on the other hand, this "no" is the decisive factor that allowed him to gradually settle down. Pursuing beauty in loneliness and poverty is his current life.
I wonder if you have a period of precipitation in loneliness?
