Let’s Reflect
Van Gogh is one of the best know and recognized painters in art history, even a layman will
recognize his painting, and every museum would like to have his pieces in their collection.
However, during his time, van Gogh lived in extreme poverty (he sold only one of his paintings
during his whole life), and this misfortune, being so misunderstood and unapprieciated, lead him
to depression, and deepened his mental issues, leading in the end to suicide.
He was deeply religious, originally he meant to become a priest, he was a missionary in
Belgium, in a community of miners. He became fascinated by their simple, rustic life in the
countryside, and he began to draw the landstapes and portaits of people that surrounded him.
Soon art became his true purpose in life.Vincent Van Gogh endured in his short life, I believe his
greatest social influence was to portray beauty in the faces of these less fortunate than some.
Vincent’s ability to paint the soul of people despite their standing within society enabled people
from all backgrounds to see the beauty in his paintings. Vincent Van Gogh exposed humanity for
what it was, a melting pot of rich and poor. Van Gogh followed not just his heart, but both
imagined and created out of the box, he saw what others overlooked, was a rebel, resisted the
rules of others not just in his applied medium, but in life, and saw beyond the cosmos and even
time. He sold only one painting while he lived, but he continued, always, to create no matter
what life tossed in his path. The most painful lesson socially is that others reaped after his death
what he created while he lived. For me, the lesson through all my 71 years of life, is that art's
creation is in all the souls who lived, now live and will live. You just need to stop and pay
attention because often they do not know what they are creating. Seeing or hearing life through
the eyes of others is to view the universe. Your steps are important. This is what Van Gogh gave
to society. The influence of Rembrandt was also present in the strong value contrasts in his early,
darker period.
