Ny dingana atao:

Mety ho hafahafa raha vao jerena ny mahita ilay mpanao hosodoko impresionista Vincent van Gogh anisan'ireo tranga tao amin'ny Institute for Brilliant Failures… Marina fa nandritra ny androm-piainany dia tsy nahazo fankasitrahana noho ny asany izy – nivarotra sary hoso-doko iray monja izy., maty mahantra ary taorian'ny nahafatesany vao nalaza eran'izao tontolo izao. Rariny ve anefa ny filazana ny tsy fahombiazana? Angamba tsy izany raha heverinao fa i Van Gogh mihitsy, farafaharatsiny amin'ny lafiny sasany, misafidy ny hiaina anaty fahantrana: lehilahy saro-pady izy, izay ambonin'ny zavatra rehetra dia nahita fahatanterahana tamin'ny zava-kantony ary tsy niomana hanao fanekena. na izany aza, ny fiainany dia nampiavaka ny 'tsy fahombiazana', ary amin'ny toe-javatra maro dia izy tenany mihitsy no naniry hahazo vokatra hafa.

Let us consider a number of events in Van Gogh’s life:
1. As a teenager he fell head over heels in love with the daughter of his landlady…
2. Van Gogh’s family was not well off and to ease the financial burden on the family when he reached the age of 16 a job was found for him at art dealer Goupil & Cie in Den Haag where his uncle was manager…
3. Van Gogh seriously considered a career as a magazine illustrator…
4. Van Gogh tried to get a job as a teacher, worked in a bookstore and later decided to become an evangelist at Borinage in Belgium…
5. In his late twenties Van Gogh fell in love with one of his models ‘Sien’…
6. Van Gogh was constantly searching for places where he could feel at home…
7. At the age of 37 Vincent van Gogh dia nanapa-kevitra ny hamono tena ary nisafidy ny hitifitra ny tenany tamin'ny fony…

Ny vokany:

1. Tsy voavaly ny fitiavany ny zanakavavin’ny tompon-trano – efa fofombadin’olon-kafa izy. Nijaly tamin'ny vanim-potoanan'ny fahaketrahana i Van Gogh.
2. Van Gogh (tsy fahampian'ny) Tsy nankasitrahan'ireo mpivarotra zava-kanto ny fahaizana ara-tsosialy ary niharan'ny fahaketrahana indray i Van Gogh. Amin'ny Mey 1875 nafindra tany Paris izy. Nitombo ny tsy fitiavany ny varotra zavakanto - ary indrindra ny fifampiraharahana amin'ny mpanjifa.
3. Tamin'ny voalohany dia nahasarika azy ny hevitra hahazoana vola amin'ny maha mpanao sary an-tsary ary naharitra ela izy vao namela izany hevitra izany..
4. Na dia tena sarobidy aza ny fanoloran-tenany hikarakara ny marary, fony izy nanomboka tamin’ny naha-evanjelisitra azy, his lack of communication skills came back to haunt him here too and he was not given a permanent position.
5. His efforts to live together with his model (and prostitute) ‘Sien’ did not work out. In addition she turned out to be pregnant – and bearing the child of another man.
6. Van Gogh lived in various places in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, looking for a place ‘he could call home’ – disillusioned he kept moving on.
7. When attempting to shoot himself through the heart he made the ‘common’ error of thinking that his heart was behind his left nipple. He missed his heart and died on the 29th of July 1896 from internal bleeding.

Ny lesona:

Over the course of his life, Vincent van Gogh tried his hand at various professions, had many relationships, and tried to build a life in many different locations. Time after time this resulted in disappointment, conflicts and in Van Gogh moving on to a new location. na izany aza, it also resulted in Van Gogh increasingly ‘living’ in the world of his inner feelings, in his passion for his art, and in a large number of incredibly beautiful paintings. He kept searching for a location, people and a ‘life purpose’ that rhymed with his way of being in the world. His ‘failures’, and his moving on, gave him new ideas and inspiration.

bebe kokoa:
During his short life, Van Gogh was largely misunderstood by those around him and his art went unappreciated. na izany aza, shortly after his death – in 1890 – there was already a huge ‘hype’ around his work. As soon as his work caught the eye of the French critic Albert Aurier, poverty and misunderstanding was transformed into riches and praise. For Van Gogh this came too late, but not for his heirs and others. Shortly after he was being called a genius and by 1905 Vincent Van Gogh was already a legend.

The poverty that characterized Van Gogh’s life contrasts sharply with the astronomic amounts that his paintings now command. The highest amount yet paid for a painting is for one of his – the portrait of Dr Gachet at 82.5 million dollars – and Van Gogh has his own museum in Amsterdam.

The very fact that the public appreciation for the work of an artist such as Van Gogh can swing from one end of the spectrum to the other in such a short time shows again how relative and subjective this appreciation is. It emphasizes how important it can be to follow one’s own intuition and to learn from ones mistakes and misfortune.
