Because a work of art is not like a movie or a book, it has its own causes and consequences, and it will extend the ideological core to the audience.
A painting, it is a painting, like a photo, it only records a moment, real or unreal. And what exactly is contained in a moment and what is being said, in fact, it is difficult for a passer-by to understand without knowing the author.
Of course, I can't understand the original intention, but I can feel it - so generally, I will only feel the works of unfamiliar artists without explaining them.
But Van Gogh is different. I have had a different feeling for Van Gogh since I was a child, so I read his stories and read his works.
In "The Shackles of Human Nature", it is said that what an artist does is actually to show the way he sees the world. If it's accepted by the viewer, it's called a master, if it's not accepted, it's ignored - and it's not up to the artist, nor the reason for the artist to create. And the reason why the artist creates is simple - because he has to create.
Vincent van Gogh was ignored when he was born, and was enshrined in the altar after his death, but you and I both know that this is not the reason for his creation.
I don't want to say more, I just want to record the quotations of Van Gogh before his death. Many words have accompanied me through the long dark night, and I hope to give you hope when you are
lost- 1. "Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well."

As far as I am concerned, my perception of everything is uncertain, but when I see the stars, I will dreaming (fantasy).

I
am pursuing it and fighting for it . . . ."

I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream” – I experience a period of frightening clarity when nature is beautiful awake. I can't even confirm myself, and my paintings are like dreams.
19. “It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.” It’s better to be high-spirited and full of mistakes than narrow-minded
but cautious.
20. "As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
" But in the process of struggling with difficulties, a strong part of the heart is formed.
21. “It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill- it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy."
It's true that many artists are mentally ill - because, in a nutshell, that means living as an outsider. I'm fine when I'm totally into painting, but I'm always half crazy.
22. "One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.
" The flame still no one will sit beside it. Passers-by saw only a wisp of green smoke rising from the chimney, and continued on. (similar to 4)

I intend to live like a dog. I want to be poor, I want to be a painter.
28. "Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.
"
29. “It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that when we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation – of loneliness, of poverty and misery, the end of all things, or their extreme – then rises in our mind the thought of God."
I'm always amazed, and always weird - when we see indescribable desolation, whether it's loneliness, poverty, suffering, death, or some other extreme situation, we immediately think of it God.
30. In spite of everything I'll rise again: I will take up my pencil which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing
I'll get back up no matter what: I'll still pick up the pencil that I gave up when I was disappointed and continue to draw.
PS: Many domestic Van Gogh quotations seem to be fake. After all, it is easy to piece together quotations everywhere in our English learning craze. So these are all found on the Internet, and some I collected and translated by myself. If there is a language disorder or English grammar, please forgive me.
thanks?
