Vincent Van Gogh

"He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again."

So anyone interested in co-moderating this with me?

I don’t have the time I thought I would have when I started it.

If you’re interested, send me a message about it.

Paintings of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh are hung in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam The Netherlands on June 21. The museum discovered a painting of Theo van Gogh, the brother of Vincent van Gogh. After new research the museum thinks that a selfportrait of Van Gogh from 1887 (L) is a portrait of his brother

Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.
