Audience masters, prepare melon seeds, today we come to talk about Van Gogh.
Speaking of this old brother, it is definitely a male classmate with a very good story. He is the god of wealth at the auction house, and his works are appropriately worth a handle, such as his "Doctor Gachet", "Blue Vulture", and "Beardless Self-Portrait" sold for $82.5 million, $53.9 million and $71.5 million, respectively.
Well, the money lines up to circle the globe several times.
"Dr. Gachet", "Blue Vulture Tail", "Self-Portrait without Beard"
Unfortunately, Van Gogh could not see with his own eyes the country he had laid, after all, these pursuits and glory belonged to the aftermath. And when he was alive, he almost collected all kinds of capitalization and boldness:
The cabbage who has been mad by the strange original family, the loser who has been poor all his life, the number one nail household in the mental hospital, the severe self-injurious patient with the bladed ear, the friend of the prostitute in the south of France, the desperate person who commits suicide with a gun in the wheat field...
Also, did you find none? Of all his self-portraits, not a single smiling face.

Before his death, the world ignored him; after his death, his birthplace of Holland and France, where he committed suicide, both competed to say that Van Gogh was a man of his own country and build him a beautiful memorial.
The so-called irony and regret are more or less like this.
Van Gogh's life is already miserable, and his emotional journey is even more difficult to describe.
Love, not only roses and romance, but also humiliation and stinging, such as three kinds of love, can be called the three major killers of life: dog-licking crush, love that is not blessed by the world, and love that is knocked down by material and bread.
Poor Van Gogh, who did not pay attention, gathered these three killing weapons.
"Dog licking" crush
In 1869, the 16-year-old Van Gogh was still an ignorant virgin, introduced to an art industry as a small clerk, Yan Controlling Party he only because he looked at the landlady's daughter Eugenia in the crowd, he successfully fell in love at first sight, and lamented that he had met the most beautiful girl in the world.
But at that time, Van Gogh was called a dick, he had been leaning on his back for many years, he didn't look good, and he was very silent and didn't like to talk, and he also realized his toad attributes, and it was a long way to chase the goddess.

The power of crush is great, in order to shorten the distance with the goddess, Van Gogh began to work hard, he not only tried to adjust the hunchback, try to manage his hair, but also learned a lot of humorous passages, designed to find opportunities for Bo beauty to laugh.
Sigh, this scene is like how many people had a crush on the goddess of men and goddesses when they were young.
But Van Gogh ultimately lacked the ability to perceive the color of speech, and he failed to fully understand the true thoughts of women. In fact, the landlord's daughter never showed any good feelings for him, but he himself had always been in a state of fantasy love, so when Van Gogh first confessed to Eugenia, he refused without hesitation.
The young Van Gogh fell into the illusion of love, but in the end he was rejected by the goddess to score the score completely, and his green virgin heart was finally broken into a chicken feather.
Love that is not blessed by the world
In 1881, the 28-year-old Van Gogh returned home to visit his relatives and met his cousin, who had just become a widow, who was gentle and warm and generous, so that Van Gogh, who had lacked maternal love since childhood, felt the warmth that had been absent for a long time, and he finally moved his heart again.
In Van Gogh's heart, Kai, dressed in widowhood and black, has a unique and independent temperament. Van Gogh often invited Kay and her children to wild dinners to draw.
And Kay is also very willing to talk to this kind-hearted, thoughtful cousin. But this kind of liking is not love, so when Van Gogh abruptly expressed his love to her and told her, "I love you as much as I love myself", a panicked Kai immediately gave an answer:
"No, never!"
After saying this, Kai immediately left Van Gogh and returned to Amsterdam.
Van Gogh, who is straight male cancer, is still very clumsy when he chases love this time, and he even burns his hand with a kerosene lamp in anxiety, hoping to see his cousin, and the result is of course a failure.

Love that is knocked down by substance and bread
When Van Gogh lost faith in love, he met a prostitute, perhaps the same fallen man at the end of the world, two people in need of comfort fell in love.
She modeled him, he painted portraits of her, she cooked him laundry, he gave her a home.
Van Gogh said that he would marry her for 150 francs a month, similar to saving enough for a down payment.
But such a duo still can't escape the iron law of "details defeat love", Van Gogh, who loves painting, uses his income to buy paint, so Christina feels that Van Gogh does not want to work hard for the future of the two, so they fight every day.
In the end, this love was defeated by the 150 francs that could not be saved.

We cross the earth just to experience life
Van Gogh's emotional experience is also the emotional experience of many people. The failed crush in youth makes people grow up overnight, when adulthood is rarely brave but not blessed, all the romance and promises in middle age are also smoothed out by material pressure, three emotions make boys become men, but also glimpse the true face of love and life.
Van Gogh's three failed loves are his experiences, and these moods are also integrated into his works, achieving his worldly talent. Van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother: "Actually we cross the earth, we just experience life. ”
Life may bring him autumn leaves like withering, but he uses extreme blue, extreme yellow, and extreme purity to show the splendor of summer flowers.

Life should have been spent arbitrarily, you say?
