A slideshow of Vincent Van Gogh’s work set to the song “Vincent” by Don McLean. It’s part of an art and creative writing lesson plan for the patients at Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield.
Actually, your … Actually, your scenario is speculative.
It is unclear as to exactly what occurred. There is conflicting information with the situation with Paul Gauguin, but it lends doubt to your statement.
You should be careful about telling people they are wrong when there is no conclusive data to support your statement.
it had nothing to … it had nothing to do with a ransom when his son was kidnapped he cut the lower part of his ear of after an argument with friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin, van Gogh cut his ear to symbolize the end of their friendship, believing that Gauguin had grown deaf to his needs.
Does it honestly … Does it honestly matter? His artwork was what made him Van Gogh, not his ear. Don McLean’s song perfectly describes Van Gogh, a wonderful and tragic figure. Can we leave it at that, please?
You’ll never hear … You’ll never hear music like this again. No matter how I, how we all wish, there will never be a day when we can match such great artistry.
So thats who the … So thats who the song is about, i had no idea until i checked it out. Love this song only found out the name and artist this week but have been humming it for years.
well like many … well like many artists and such, it took many many years for their art to become recognized and worth something. It took over a century for Vincent’s I believe. I may be wrong and don’t mind if someone corrects me
