To me, Van Gogh is the best artist in the world. Certainly, he is the most popular and greatest artist above all the time. The most beloved one in nowadays. His command of a color was the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into an ecstatic beauty. Pain was easy to portray but he used his 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. In my mind, that strange wild man who roamed the fields of Provence, was not only the world's greatest artist but also one of the greatest men who had ever lived."?
那天翻出在学校学习美术简史时写的一段对梵高的感想。其实那时也狂迷那首叫“VINCENT”的歌曲，一个美国当代摇滚歌星作曲填词并演唱的。他写尽了人们对梵高的理解和深爱。我感慨两个不同领域额的人，在那歌者读梵高传记时引发了高度的共鸣深刻的理解。这首歌从70年代后就一直是荷兰梵高家乡纪念馆里每天每时重复播放的曲目。一代人对他的景仰。我有一个月几乎经常听这首歌，其实我分析自己更多的是听我对自己的自怜。
“They never know your sanctity." is my key point.
"They never know my sanctity." 所以一首传唱广泛久远的歌，真的不是只怀念伟大的灵魂，它还怜惜普罗大众。
