Vincent Van Gogh 72 - De Bock Comments

I admire Vincent's courage and forthrightness despite his timidity.

2) The Vincent who wasn't afaid to speak his mind. And to offer constructive criticism at the cost of possibly losing a good friend.

Geeta, your brilliant series continues to present all of the various contrasts that were present in Vincent's life: family, friends, lifestyles, art styles, etc. Wondering if that created the real Vincent.

True to his nature, Vincent expressed his frank opinion about his rich friend's art work which he thought lacked intensity or passion. The series is so lively.

Dr. Geeta, my friend, you have presented beautifully, vividly and brilliantly through this biographical poem (series) the detailed life of Van Gogh as if we have lived with him in his lifetime. A very commendable work indeed! Top Marks!

Van Gogh is like a diamond inside a rough stone. Outside he is so short of manners, wealth and stability . Yet if you dig deeper, he had some of the finest character of a great, great man.

A great artist has that sharp and penetrating eyes, a hawk-eyed scrutiny. Van Gogh has this special attribute and this beautiful poem has depicted and expressed that gift so brilliantly.

Another great character of Van Gogh has been known by the readers through this beautiful biographical poem. One of the core values of friendship is honesty. Van Gogh's straightforward answer to the question of his friend DE Boch is just amazing. What a wonderful side of Van Gogh.

Your beautiful biographies of Vincent van Gogh should be turned into a book, they are very worthy to be published.

What I see as an artist/ art lover if you try to put everything in your paintings it may fill the canvass but will not leave space to move smoothly as it happened in the painting you posted above... Excellent poem, Geeta ji..5***** To my Fav as well.

This is very constructive criticism I am sure had he taken it in right perspective he would have put enough passion in his succeeding paintings. For any artist what matters is how they look at things from their view-point.....

Wonderful chapter in this beautiful poem
