Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo were truly insightful as you've rightly said- A complex mind that battled between hope and despair.
Great tribute to a painter that touched your artistic nerve to write a fantastic poem for him. Full *****
Through this beautiful poem, you have given a fascinating look at the life of a great and talented man. I love the wonderful picture, too. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very nicely written poem about a great painter Revered poet menon.All your bio poems are enjoyed by me.
Dear Geeta, your enormous and beautiful talent is so apparent in these bio-poems about great artist and men. They are more powerful and lasting than a prose biography because yopu so well, manage to communicate their human essence and presence. Thank you for these priceless and unique gifts.
To successfully pull off a project of this scope and magnitude takes an exceptionally good poet. And Geeta, you are certainly that poetess. This series, along with your others, are all a labour of love. And a great joy to behold!
There are a few poets on this site that take on massive, unique and fascinating projects. And are able to pull it off SUCCESSFULLY. Geeta, you are one of them. I've always thoroughly enjoyed your poetry. And I'm so excited about reading this series!
A well presented and interesting write. Very informative.
Another wonderful series, Dr. Geeta. It is a great opportunity to know the life and paintings of an extraordinary man through your wonderful pen.
Van Goh is indeed one of the greatest painters this world has ever produced. Yet, his personality is embedded with so much loneliness and pain. I had the opportunity to attend a showcase of his works featuring his 'bedroom paintings'. The play of colors in his paintings are also extraordinary.
Probably you've heard about his ear (left one?) . I think he cut his finger and toe nails also. ;) bri
My mate and I visited the Van Gogh art museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and I was surprised to see art by quite a few other artists there. One of Vincent's was HUGE, maybe 20 by 30 feet?
'implicitly'...I assume THIS (one of 3 I found) definition is what you mean: 'without question or reservation; absolutely'.
When we enjoy his exquisite and extraordinary paintings, we tend to overlook the abject poverty in which he lived and total lack of resources to complete one. Top score for this magnificent series on one of the topmost talents in painting, who will be remembered for ages to come.
Wow how deeply beautiful and heart moving! .. Beautifully expressed! .. How precious Beyond #ing! ..+++++++++++++++++
An interest biographical piece of poetry.
