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.

Imao je samo 37 godina kada si je oduzeo život..... većina to ne shvaća bio je tako mlad.... Pjesmu ste već čuli mnogo puta, ali prezentacija jasno pokazuje da je ova pjesma napisana u spomen na Vincenta Van Gogha, kao posveta Dona McLeana, u sedamdesetima. Priča se da je Van Goghova slika 'Zvjezdane noći' naslikana je tijekom njegova zatočeništva u azilu i da je tijekom svog prodao samo jednu sliku života jer je u to vrijeme bio bezimen. To je možda što ga je natjeralo da padne u ponor depresije koja na kraju je dovela do njegovog samoubojstva. Kako tragično za njega osjećao tako beznadno i neshvaćeno unatoč tome što je bio takav nadaren! Šteta je što medicinska znanost još nije bila spremna da mu pomognem. Dakle, udobno se smjestite i očarajte se djelima Vincenta Vana Gogh. Molimo uključite zvučnike. Da biste uživali u prezentaciji, pažljivo promatrajte slike i slušajte glazbu.
