《星夜》是梵高的名作之一,旋转的星空表现了他纠缠的内心。

每天一分钟,我们一起玩转世界文化。梵高是荷兰最著名的画家之一,在他坎坷的一生中经历了疯狂,自残与自杀,但却只卖出了一幅作品。而在他死后,他的光芒却为世人瞩目。也许这就是所谓的“不疯魔不成活”吧。

Craig, look at this. I'm looking at this website all about famous people who committed suicide. It’s really interesting and a little gross. Check out van Gogh, I need to do some research about him. van Gogh… here we are. Vincent van Gogh, born 1853 in Holland, died 1890 in France of a self-inflicted gunshot. He cut his ear off before that, didn't he? Yes, he was a troubled genius. His brief, turbulent, and tragic life epitomizes the mad genius legend. What else does it say? Only one of his paintings was sold while he was alive, and his most famous ones were painted during a period of 29 months where he worked and worked, and then became suicidal. Actually, one reason he became suicidal was because he was suffering from epilepsy. In his grim struggle Vincent had one constant ally and support, his younger brother Theo. He wrote Theo many letters talking of his dreams and aspirations. I think Theo tried to keep him from going insane.
