letra de on failure - aesop rock
i was thinking about van gogh recently
i was never really a huge fan of his paintings
but i wouldn’t say i actively disliked them either
it’s just never been my thing
i found myself thinking about a specific van gogh painting
which i’ve since learned is called “landscape with snow”
i looked it up to see if it still looked as i remembered
and it pretty much did
but this time, i decided i liked it …
i can’t explain why
this all led me to van gogh’s wikipedia page
i wanted to find out if history considered him
primarily a landscape, portrait, or still-life paintеr
he did them all
i browsed thе page and didn’t really find my answer
but i did come across the following sentence
“van gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime
and was considered a madman and a failure. ”
d-mn. i mean, i kinda knew that much about him
wild life, wasn’t famous until after he died, etc
but even considering all that, i kept going back to that sentence
van gogh started painting at 27
and only worked for about 9 years before committing suicide
and while that’s not that long
he did make around 900 paintings and 1000 drawings
i guess i say all that to say this
as a guy who recently decided
he somewhat likes a single painting by vincent van gogh
for reasons i can’t quite describe
it does make me sad to see a man with mental health issues
and a passion for art summed up as an “unsuccessful madman failure” even if he was in fact financially unsuccessful, and kind of a madman
a failure? i dunno
i kinda like that landscape with snow, and i’m glad he painted it
