Q: "Come back to Paris with me, do nothing here all day, make yourself like this."
Answer: "Do nothing? Some people do nothing because they don't know what they want to do. They enjoy doing nothing. I envy them. I want to be a valuable person, someone who can do something valuable to help people. I'm just looking for my own path in life, a path that can reflect my personal value and make people feel valued , so I came to help these poor people on behalf of God."


Ask: "What kind of painter do you want to be?"
Answer: "I want to be a person who can move people, arouse people's emotions, feel beauty, and make people feel A painter of some kind of genuine inner value."

This is Van Gogh's position in his life, maybe I didn't describe it accurately enough, and I used memory and absolute emotional resonance to restore the lines. It is this kind of pursuit of life that made the twenty-seven-year-old Van Gogh start to try painting bit by bit in the process of searching. From doubt to experimentation to determination, this mental journey is probably only if he has the same life pursuit and the same Only those who are sad can feel it. Along the way, Van Gogh was not lucky. On the contrary, he spent years searching, exploring, craving, enduring, reconciling, and finally choosing a helpless path. to free yourself. He was only 37 years old at the time.

Because he knew what kind of person he wanted to be, he had the courage to try and practice preaching. When he understood and saw with his own eyes that such a rhetoric could not improve the lives and emotional conditions of poor people, he made sure to integrate himself into it. Help them with hands and real emotions, to convey the outlook on life that he has been adhering to in his heart. When he started to try painting and was a little sure in his heart that maybe this was his path in life, he decided to go back to his hometown, because there were all his feelings there, he lived with them and put all his emotions into observing the rural life He tried to paint the value and meaning of nature and hard work with a brush among the people who worked hard for farming, and the medium of communication was his wholehearted emotional input. He kept revising, studying, and observing, and finally decided to leave to study. On the road of groping and creation, he really walked across the river by feeling the stones step by step. He longs for love, longs for companionship, and regards love as one of the most important and sacred values ​​in life, but he is always unfortunate, such a person who longs for love can't get love or company after all, he only has lonely paintings , once again poured all the desire for love, warmth and companionship into the painting, so far, he has devoted all of himself.

It is hard to imagine how such a person who needs love and companionship can live in loneliness, and how he can seek to escape his own death step by step. Painting entrusted all his spiritual life, and therefore he had to have a thick and powerful brush, which was a manifestation of his perseverance.

He traded death for life, his limited life for priceless immortality, and his lifelong tangible loneliness for the invisible companionship of future generations. How can we judge such a tragic life?

    Terrible symphony. Oh old movie. I read the book early in the morning, and the movie also presents the biography in a simple way. But the blending of pictures and scenes is still a wonderful experience. Van Gogh is too legendary. His pure sincerity is bound to become a tragedy in such a reality. Purely hurtful.

    You're in full bloom but whoever resonates but whoever resonates you should bloom in full bloom it doesn't seem a sad death, 'cause you're home now.

  • Vincent Van Gogh: I don't care to be respected! I'm trying to live like a *true* Christian. I'm not going to worry about how I sleep. Look at the fresh graves of the children in the cemetery. Scrub floors and pick coal with the women. Get those fine clothes dirty with the blood and sweat of dying miners. Then come here and lecture me about Christianity! Hypocrites. Hypocrites!
