The Grand Art of Vincent Van Gogh

IN THE PAST MINUTES I have been enjoying some grand art.  I have studied a wry and intense painting of Vincent Van Gogh called 'Sunflowers.'  Somehow Vincent Van Gogh speaks to me in a brilliant way.  In Van Gogh there burns a flame of erudite sensitive artistry that overwhelms all the people who take the time to really study this individual's work.  One time long ago a friend of mine looked at me askance for using the word individual but if truth be told the person did not realize that when I used the term individual it is a word that contains muli-layers of human emotion. To speak vividly, I must say that like some essayists like Bazin and others I enjoy the ardent emotionalism that a man like Vincent Van Gogh brings to his artistic vision. Many aesthetic values are espoused in so many concept areas like  the work of the sleek soul of photographer Henri-Cartier Bresson and there are other elegant souls in the creative arena also, witness the enchanting work of Federico Fellini with his strong film of genius 'La Dolce Vita.' But getting back to Van Gogh, the fellow captures the essence of a brand of art that is vigorous and intoxicating.  The man is not just a stylist he is a great soul.
