Vincent VanGogh

 

He was only 37 when he took his own life..... most do not realize that

he was that young....

 

You have heard the song many times before but the

presentation clearly chronicles that this song was written

in memory of Vincent Van Gogh, as a tribute by Don McLean,

in the seventies. It is rumored that Van Gogh's painting

of 'Starry Night' was painted during his confinement

in an asylum and that he sold only one painting during his

lifetime as he was nameless at that time. That's perhaps

what caused him to fall into an abyss of depression which

eventually led to his suicide. How tragic for him to have

felt so hopeless and misunderstood in spite of being so

gifted! It was a pity that medical science was not yet ready

to help him.

 

So, sit back and be enthralled by the works of Vincent Van

Gogh.

 

Please turn on your speakers. To enjoy the presentation,

look closely at the paintings and listen to the music.
