Its very sad that he had a sad and awful life. Didn't get recognition til after his death, so he died insane and depressed.

He didn't cut his whole ear off, only a piece of it.

If he was born in the era of mental health understanding, Van Gogh could have maybe actually enjoyed the success from his genius artwork. Instead he suffers, makes the world of Art a better place, and someone else gains from his hard work?? Plus also the life story just jacks up the price after death. The human race can be very heartless sometimes. He probably cut his ear off because the poor man would have been hearing voices.

Remember to treat everybody nice because you never know what issues they'll had to suffer

Tanehowl, I agree. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to only get recognition for your amazing art --- after your death. He lived such a depressing life and was full of misery. I wish he could have gotten the fame he deserved while alive.

in an episode of doctor who, the doctor takes him forward in time to the Louvre,where Vincent is amazed to see his paintings adorn the walls and he can see he was loved eventually, one of the best episodes,quite touching.

flowercat0523, jdisoleie3jekkvvk(hcnvhsiuvvuhvr for example if I had a friend in a group chat who was a bit shy to say hello and then he would be so rude and I was just a bit nervous and then I would be very rude and then he was like oh my gosh he was just so rude I thought I would just be nice and then I just said hello to you so you don’t have a friend to talk to you and I just want you to know that I you don’t know how to talk about me so that way we could have some sort away with each others name so you don’t think I’m sorry but I don’t want you can I know you don’t know if I just wanted you know that you don’t have to be nice and then you can just be honest and then you can talk about you can just say hello to me and I believe in your.friends or whatever you can be friends with a real person

If he had been born into a time when mental illnesses were both understood and treated, he likely wouldn’t have made the beautiful art that he did. Much of it was influenced by what he “saw” in his turbid mind. Starry Night is a prime example.

Reminds me of Peter from the Bible because Peter cut off someone's ear when he was taking Jesus with him to the temple. Jesus healed him and he was fine.

I absolutely love Van Gogh!! and the fact that you cannot separate mental illness from his work is so foundational. I did a whole project on him & mental illness.
