he’s reported to be the artist who cutoff his own ear, and spent alot of time in an asylum, where he painted many of his masterpieces. I’ve enjoyed reading all these stories after visitting Paris, I took 1000 photographs and had them all printed. Been going through them and learning all these stories about the artists, impossible to soak it all in that quickly while you’re there.

Van Gogh’s painting, The Starry Night, is at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York . That’s one he painted ‘on committment’ time :smile:

so the next time I have to sit through a worthless committment hearing, sit in the ‘asylum’ for weeks, I’ll ask if I can paint somthing, thee things are worth millions! give it a try! :smile:

I also see that there’s 5 versions of Van Gogh’s bedroom painting, the text outlines that he painted it 5 times, even from the asylum I can imagine it gave him something to do, there’s one in Paris at the Musee Orsay, and there’s 4 others, one’s in Chicago
