#ScribesAndMakers August 7: Is there a work of art that you didn't like at first but came to appreciate once you understood it better?
#VanGogh. I accepted he must be a great artist because so many people liked him and that's what the experts said, but his art never did anything for me.
Then I saw an episode of #DoctorWho called "Vincent and the Doctor," in which "VanGogh" describes his art this way:
Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars!Near the end of the episode, a museum curator (played by Bill Nighy) says this:
He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again.An episode of a sci-fi TV series taught me more about art than an entire semester of Art Appreciation in college.

The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention
Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […] -

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), The Prison Courtyard (after Gustave Doré), 1890, oil on canvas, 31.4x25.1 inches (80x64 cm), Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #vangogh #prison
From HSE University, Moscow: “Vincent van Gogh painted The Prison Courtyard in 1890, inspired by an engraving by French illustrator Gustave Doré. In February 1890, Van Gogh was staying at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, where he had no opportunity to paint from life…
When examining Van Gogh's painting, one can notice a pair of butterflies fluttering against the prison wall. For the artist, they may have symbolized hope for liberation…
When painting this work, Van Gogh primarily used blue paint. The artist was known for his fondness for cool blue, which he combined with warm yellow to convey his inner state. The clash of these two colors also symbolizes the inner conflict that marked Van Gogh’s life—between hope and despair, joy and sorrow. The artist often used blue for his self-portraits. Through blue and its many shades, he sought to understand himself as a person and as an individual.”

#29Julio Tal día como hoy de 1890 moría #VanGogh a los 37 años. Genio incomprendido, vendió un solo cuadro en vida, padecía depresión y delirios. Pero su arte, original, vanguardista y alucinado, lo ha hecho inmortal. Sus #girasoles míticos como los #nenúfares de Monet #pintura
