Do the best artists accomplish too much too early to die or do they die because they attain too much too early?
Either way our generation possesses an unquenched lust for rockstars , ones who extinguish into the thin air rather too soon. Vincent wasn’t an eccentric, something that the then world associated a lot with Artists of their age. Sometimes I wish people could let artists be in their won cocoon without finding the need to judge their process. We try to evaluate too much. Because we cant put a framework or basis of operation for artists and how they function , we simply fail to realize the humanity of the artist while deifying their art.
Artists create indelible impressions on culture and art but fall short on the most important virtue of loving themselves enough. Maybe no great art is born out of security or maybe its our way of putting legitimate labels on concepts we don’t want to allocate our minds to. Loving Vincent is all about Vincent’s death. An illimitable movie created from paintings with immaculate graphics, animation power of the 20th century and some of the simplest dialogues I have come across of a film that talks much more than the surface. Multiple instances where Directors — Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman lend their vision to the talking points of the 19th century. Edited by Justyna Wierszynska & Dorota Kobiela forming a compelling murder mystery which refutes dying till the last minute of the film. Be aware of the handling of the subject, we are talking about a modern art pioneer who remained in the papers a lot more for his idiosyncrasies of a self-inflicted malfunctioning ear and his trysts with psychoticism.
Vincent’s death was abrupt just like the other decisions he has ever taken. He failed at jobs after being rejected as the child at home, this is a man who understood sadness better than most of us do. He lived in the midst of depression for all the while his soul inhabited the body. Plagued by traditional artist issues of poverty and under-appreciation for the lack of understanding, Van Gogh is a stellar magnate today being throned in museums across Europe with Paintings that have fetched millions of dollars only for a man as the film portrays who couldn’t find pennies to take the onerous burden away from his brother or love his hearts out for his beloved. Watch this film to understand the immense pain great artists have been through, but most because the creation of spectacular comes from extremely disturbing and insecure minds.
