Ha! Indeed, luminescent too. Some people call that kind of brilliance, flying too close to the sun. A lot of people who have psychotic breaks, tend to be very intelligent. I’m not sure why. The poor guy lopped off his own ear! But he does seem to have captured the nature of turbulence.
Do you know that the work Vah Gogh and other impressionists did led to the invention of color film? They learned how the eye sees light and color. I agree that’s it’s sad that genius often exist together but that is true more often than not. I think Vincent was too sensitive to the energies around him, the world burned and hurt him. His biography is as interesting as his paintings.
They are my favorite. I also, like to study the art of civilizations as they rise and fall and how art changes, accordingly. Art is much more than pretty pictures to hang on the wall.:0)
Please find a very interesting understanding of modern art and the paradoxical nature quantum phys and Reality. Or how the various artists attempted to break out of the stranglehold of the reductionist parameters of the only kind of art which was (at the time) acceptable to the Academy. http://www.artandphysics.com
Of course you are familiar with this tribute. I don’t know the link will post, or the vid/pic. Do as you wish as far as leaving/erasing, but some may not know the connection of this song with the painter. Enjoy anyway ms bytes.
Always appreciated the sympathy McClean had for the painter. He too would enjoy your vid above, singing of ‘Fluid, movement, and light.’
But when all searching is over, and every rock of discovery has been overturned, God will have been found to be there, waiting, waiting, waiting, probably without the turbulence tho ;).
The science of arithmetic points clearly to Intelligence and He who set math in motion.
People think that seven days in a week were decided by a committee. Or 24 hrs in a day were agreed upon by two monks and a sherpa.
Cool math vid btw, and glad u liked the song ms bytes. Van Gogh was awesome.
Yea, God is quite the overchiever eh, doing so much by saying so little…………………’let there be light…….
and speaking of turbulence………………………..to the raging seas…………….’peace, be still……………….’
and there was a great calm……………..same God. Same awe.
such is the believers life………………a great calm. Of course! And as a sidetrip, I for one, believe there was a ‘great calm’ in the beginning…………..as the sound of music was heard by ‘different ears.’
Oh great, i’m going all vangoyish on ya. 😉 ‘they did not understand………..perhaps they never will……………’ Maybe, but what about me? Do I understand……
That is such a powerful song, it really speaks to the nature of the whole problem. There are many men like Vincent, brilliant, but so intelligent and plagued by delusions that they’re forced to live their lives perched on the edge of madness. What they seem to see there in the turbulence, in those dark nights of the soul, is really quite beautiful and speaks to an Intelligence far greater than us. Nietzsche said, “you gaze into the abyss long enough and it gazes back at you,” but it isn’t an abyss at all. God is very real and as some have said, He lives right on the other side of our own madness.

“He who set math in motion,” those are just delightful words! That’s it, precisely. Gives new meaning to “let there be light.”

“Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)”
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could’ve told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Like the strangers that you’ve met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will
There is my comment coupon. Nice IB
