1. Vincent van Gogh is known for his famous and unique work of art. This song
made me perceived how he encountered a lot of difficulties in life and he
creates his art as a way of expressing himself. At that time, he was always
misunderstood and no one appreciates his art.Through this song, Don McLean
is letting us know that no one would listen to what Vincent was trying to say
and that people didn't understand the true meaning of Vincent’s paintings.
The writer of the song composed it as a tribute to Vincent’s artworks and story.
For me, Vincent van Gogh was a remarkable painter for his notable artworks
that shows its emotion through unique patterns. His each painting provides a
direct sense of how the artist viewed each scene, interpreted through his eyes,
mind, and heart.

members of society.”
