Who Was Vincent Van Gogh? | Artrageous with Nate

Is there more to Vincent Van Gogh than ears and sunflowers? In this episode I dig into what you do know and a lot more of what you probably don't know. What made Van Gogh, one of the most famous artists who ever lived, so misunderstood? Let's dig into that.

When I was younger, a bunch of Van Gogh's work was traveling to various art museums around the world and I was fortunate enough to see the collection.  It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I hadn't really thought about that in a long time.  Thanks for giving me a break from school work and helping me remember my love for Van Gogh. This video was absolutely fantastic!

If you’re an admirer of van Gogh’s art (which I assume you are since you’re here) I highly recommend seeing “Loving Vincent”. It’s an *incredible* tribute to van Gogh. And, given how religious he was, and how suicide was viewed back then, plus the various clues... I’m inclined to believe the theory of how he died presented in “Loving Vincent”.

I'm listening to Vincent (Starry, starry night) by Don McLean. Such a beautiful and sad song.

Well there's a deeper meaning into why Vincent cut his ears off. It all started when he met this girl and she had burn marks because of treatment, Vincent is too emotional and he wanted to share the same pain with the girl so he cut his ears off so that they would share the same pain and he gave it to the girl because Vincent thought that this was the best idea to help the poor girl

The way he painted his art, makes me wonder if he ever ate moldy rye bread

[joefran]

loved this video, and your channel...I am visiting Avignon next week, and planning on doing a Van Gogh tour in Arles. I've always loved Van Gogh's work and knew few facts about him. I was looking for videos on Van Gogh to learn more about his life before the visit, and this video really hit it out of the park! Thank you

I've been on a Van Gogh binge and there's always different versions of his life....I wonder which one is the most accurate.

Sounds like he had Asperger's, I was lead here by Ellie Goulding's beautiful rendition of "Vincent". My Daughter has high functioning Autism, her mind, memory, effortless abilities amaze me. Van Gough, Thank you. :)

I watched your vids in art class and I absolutely love your vids. You are so into it and happy and you make the videos interesting. Even though I don't really care about his type of stuff, I wanted to tell you this.

[ourflyingskies]

What a great video, it was an even more entretaining way of learning art history and I hope you keep on doing it. It was so much fun to watch, thank you!!

[summeroso]

Great videos Nate - informative narration paired with catchy visuals. I'm here to stay. Keep it up!

Where as I appreciate your enthusiasm and the work in producing this video, as it turns out though, Irises (1889) are not orchids, and were not painted upon his arrival at Arles, rather much later in St.Remy while in hospital. Proper identification, and chronology of works fused with his emotional arc is the story of Van Gogh. This should be the focus, rather than an airing out of a persons unsanitary conditions, vices and bad eating habits. Van Gogh was a deeply troubled man, he painted furiously to cope with the diminishing reality of his life. Today we celebrate is art as some of the greatest produced by humankind, but I would argue his legacy is what a human can accomplish, even at the bleakest hours of ones life.

I loved everything about this video! Thank you very much!

A film very much worth watching is Leonard Nimoy's made for TV movie, Vincent. Nimoy play's this as a one man show and portray's Vincent's brother, Theo. A lot of the script is Nimoy reading from Vincent's letters to Theo. This could be static and uninteresting, but Nimoy brings both Van Goghs to life. It's gripping and fascinating.

VanGogh is one of my favorite artists! Great content...just subscribed

[Yakkymania]

Vincent reminds me a lot of Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Both were creative souls whose mental health got in the way of a bright future, and both were artists.
