This is FABULOUS Kris...you have touched my heart, thank you kindly for putting this together...I hope the rest of the group enjoys it as much as I have!!!
The life and work of this man fascinate me, maybe I feel a special bond to him because our birth dates are very close, and I sense the beauty of his spirit in each and every image he created, it seems as if in every painting he cried out desperately for the world to accept and understand him...unfortunately they didn't, and he chose to leave this earth so quickly and tragically. This song is "Starry, Starry Night" written and sung by Don McLean about Van Gogh, which to me sums up this Master's life perfectly. Do you remember it?
Hugs...

Van Gogh
    1853-1890

"No more fitting epilogue can be provided for Van Gogh than this series of self-portraits, which reveal the changes in his style and his growing self-awareness. An early study (1) shows the Dutch influence of dark, earthy tones. His palette grew lighter and more intense in Paris (2,3,4,5). The hues of Arles reminded Van Gogh of Japanese prints and he painted himself as a Buddhist monk (6). After his mental breakdown, he saw himself as an apparition emerging from an ambiguous background (7). His last self-portrait (8...) is a powerful study of a fevered mind held in check by a monumental effort of will."

Editors of Time-Life Books, "The World of Van Gogh", by Robert Wallace, Canada 1969.

I can't find the original on this...I've downloaded posts way back to early yesterday, but it's not in my list anywhere.    Could someone please repost.  I would never have passed this one by.  Thanks
