So very sad about his mental state. I believe he had Syphilis & that contributed to his mental anguish. Talented artist..such a shame.

Player #53553731, he cut off his own ear! He was a genius but he definitely had some mental health issues. No stigma, just fact.

There is often a fine line between pure genius & being completely mad. It is possible to be both simultaneously. The same is also true betwixt being misunderstood & having a limitless imagination. Regardless, such beautiful art, of all sorts & mediums, seem to correlate with one another.

budgie, it is impressive; but unfortunately wouldn’t have alleviated mental illness.

Through his tragedy it created visual beauty for us now and in the future 🙏🏽

Calabtangan' Boyoyong, I have that 45. Bought it back then. The Starry Might is probably my favorite painting of all time, and the Don MacLean song always makes me so emotional.

such a magnificent life. Not as he lived it, but as he left it. His legacy is eternal to art and us.

I've seen it. It's beautiful. It's also a lot smaller than I've been led to believe.

The art reflects his troubled mind.

Such talent even though he was mentally ill

Player #53553731, I think he was a troubled soul. I absolutely adore his work. It's so vibrant. He was misunderstood. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly.

Calabtangan Boyoyong, Van Gogh The Life is an excellent book about him.

Player #53553731, great creativity can emerge when a person enters a manic or hypomanic state in Bipolar Disorder. The creativity is however exhausting, eventually resulting in depression.

Player #53553731, he was possibly autistic. He showed many signs of autism. Autism was not really recognised until fairly recently in medical terms, around 30 or so years ago. It doesn’t mean it didn’t exist before it just wasn’t recognised as a disorder.

budgie, Yeah, he'd go crazy if he knew .... 😧. Uh, .... nevermind.
