So very excellent. Thank you.
Just love what Gregory says about why Van Gogh is so powerful--he captures what it is to be human; he captures the feeling that the beauty of this world gives if we truly connect with it and see it. Brilliant!
aldebaran Redstar totally agreed. Well said. Now I see Van Gogh paintings with stronger feelings n understanding.
me too. Thanks.
Some beautiful insights. Thank you.
wow! thanks for sharing this. It's been so helpful now that I'm reading their book. Which is amazing, by the way.
Van Gogh´s history is still in the making. The Gauguin episode and his suicide have been object of scholars' debate and evidence research. In the XIX the new conclusions have been "considered as solid but not definitive" by the Van Gogh circle of authoritative institutions. They just kept those fact checked changes in waiting, because it could endanger the legend already developed around Van Gogh" and the huge commercial sums that have skyrocketed already after the 1950s and beating records in the 1980s and 1990s. "If the early Van Gogh story succeeded, why change it?" . Van Gogh auctions at Sotheby's, Christie's are still careful market operations; big headlines; profit for magazines, writers, commentators; boost gallery and museum ticket...Only in The Netherlands there are two museums dedicated completely or partly to this painter.
It's like a theater showing only movies by one actor...
And still they do well...
There are already mainstream myths that hinder people to go beyond the fiery colors and brushstrokes of his last two years (1888-1990) Those impressive strokes in his last period hamper the public to reads about his other 35 years of life and struggle to fit i a social environment and, finally, from the 1880s, to cope with his fate.
Vincent is an ever changing character, not just a cliché.
It´s not accurate to say that Theo was his only friend in life. Theo became his longlife confidant an essential spiritual support, and then also a financial one .
As far as his death he tried to find models to follow, dead or alive. Endless debate on art matters with famous contemporary or younger painters, or common people from his always changing surroundings. The Atelier du Midi was an attempt to established an ideal commune of artists, just two years before he died. ....It may seem a fantasy, considered the fake kind of interest of Gauguin, a crook that that same years (1800s) ruined the career of a prodigy kid as Emile Bernard just spending some months in the small Pont Aven commune.
But, just at that same years there were patrons of the arts as Pavel Tretyakov and the commune established by Sasha Mámontov in Abrámtsevo, by Moscow...Real masters met there, changed the neoclassicism of the Imperial Academy and shaped the future development of late XIX and early XX century painting. Ilya Repin visited Paris but just took some influence from impressionism...But Repin's was a special case: he had to paint Russia; describe that golden era, illustrate it, both in collective and individual r portraits.
omg,,,is there apart 2 ????
"TOO MANY NOTES"
I feel frustrated with the speakers interrupting each other and turning the discussion in another direction. Not sure the dual speaker idea works well
IS THIS ABOUT VAN GOGH,OR ABOUT A BOOK ?????????????
Why do Americans always pronounce Vincent's name 'Van Go'?! It's Van GouGH. 'Van GoFF is close enough. Easy.
DeeMor501 ...it must be very annoying to hear words and names mispronounced.
It bothers me very much. There are many things that bother me about language usage.
Usually, it is a losing battle.
I hate how the word “impact “, a noun, has become a verb and has almost completely replaced the verb “to affect “.
Likewise the use of “transition “ as a verb. To transition...ugh!
And don’t get me started on disincentivise !
The United States, as you know, has a border with only one country where English is not spoken.
We don’t come into contact with other languages or the pronunciation of foreign words often.
So our usage of them can become insular.
Hell. Half the country pronounces Nevada differently from the other half.
Also, there is a strain of anti-intellectualism in the U.S.
Anyone not high in academia who pronounces van Gogh properly would be looked upon as pretentious.
Finally, English doesn’t have that particular guttural sound that is found in German, Dutch and other languages.
We think of it as a throat clearing sound.
Many Yiddish words have entered the lexicon here and some of them pose a challenge, too.
So, I’m afraid that we will continue to butcher Vincent’s name.
If I have to endure hearing “transition”used as a verb, I suspicion you will have to permission us to say van Goh!
The “G” pronunciation in Dutch is both guttural and difficult to learn. Therefore, whether it occurs as the first letter or later in a word, it is challenging. Best to forgive.
It is the American pronunciation.
this might have been enjoyable if these two would learn how to talk "PUBLICLY" , mumble !
