I don't know oil painting, but every time we look at Van Gogh's paintings, whether they are oil paintings or drawings, they are so shocking, even if we don't have the opportunity to see the real thing, we can only look at the prints on the books. Especially "Sunflower" can really make you feel a strong desire to survive.
Watching this film, every time Van Gogh has a psychotic episode, I feel intensely sad.
Van Gogh was a sincere and kind painter. "He worshipped Miller all his life. Miller's simple ode to the cultivator of the earth has sung throughout Van Gogh's entire artistic career. Therefore, the things that ignited his artistic passion have always been nature in the sun, simplicity. The scenery, the fields full of crops, the splendid wildflowers, the cottages, and the ordinary and hard-working people around him. He has been breathing the vitality of this life, and has integrated his life with the most fundamental life elements in the world. One." This reminds me of the term "people's artist", art is not just a trick for the rich, it should also serve people of any class in society. Such a simple soul, Van Gogh painted his own real soul. Perhaps because of this, Van Gogh was destined to suffer and be alone in his life and not be accepted and understood by anyone except his younger brother Theo.
I think that in this day and age, it is impossible to find people who treat art and life in this way, because such people have only one result, which is suicide.
