#2Wouldn't be surprised, as it seems he was friends with Van Gogh. Coincidentally, just watched a film version of his life - dramatized in the 1952 film Moulin Rouge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moulin_Rouge_(1952_film)

If you like Van Gogh's work, do not miss the movie "Loving Vincent": http://lovingvincent.com/

Thanks for the recommendation. Check out the brilliant "Loving Vincent" animated film and "Vincent & Theo" as well. Also, somewhat relatedly, Jeanne Calment (the oldest person to have ever lived) claimed to have known him in her youth.

It's both an interesting biography of the period surrounding his death, and visually stunning.

I have also liked At Eternity's Gate
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Eternity%27s_Gate_(film) so so much. If you can, first watch this, and then "Loving Vincent". I did this coincidentally and was amazed at how these two films enrich each other, in that order.

#8I saw the other one at an exhibition - Van Gogh sitting in a cafe - and I have to say the digital scans on the Internet are so wrong. I was shocked. Self-correcting digital cameras and the low-grade image formats are killing everything. Just know something, if a digital scan of a famous painting didn't impress you it's likely the quality of the scan that's to blame.

I noticed that as images of van Gogh's "Starry Night" kept cropping up recently in various unrelated media. All of them looked like paint-by-number pictures. The original has impasto brushtrokes and bold streaks of barely-mixed colour everywhere and you can spend hours finding joy in the implied detail and the movement and the expressiveness. The online versions inspire you as much as a single panel in a comic strip.
Internet scans do to visual art what mp3s and earbuds did to good music. The arts have morphed to fit the new media but the technology has caused a loss of ability to appreciate for what came before.

Check out some of the high-res 3D surface scans of paintings that were done by Hirox a while ago. They really give you the chance to see some of this work on a screen. Seeing the detail when zooming in is quite stunning.
