A Man Born in the Wrong Time...
Now, we all know Vincent Van Gogh. Unless, you've been living under a rock your whole life. He is mostly known for his ianting like, the Starry Night or the Bedroom at Arles. When e was alive, he lived life unknown by people and remained poor his whole life. This man lived a hard tormented life as it is. Not only was he the outsider in his village he suffered mental illness, depression. No one had even given him the time of day to merely take a glance at his artwork. He only have sold a couple works here and there. But, through all these hardships he was able to turn the pain of his tormented into erotic beauty of landscapes through his paintings. Pain is easy to depict but to use that pain to crete joy filled picture of our world is simply mesmerizing. If only the people in his time had given Van Gogh the chance and or moment to explain his artwork he would've be recognized much sooner. He would've proven himself to be great as he did prove in the future. The man lost the battle to depression and took his life. What a waste of pure talent and personality. It is safe to say that this man was born in the wrong time.
