To be honest, I’ve never really thought about it much - it just feels natural. All of the art I post creates certain feelings in me; something like intuition, recognition,  nostalgia, mystery, and/or comfort.Of course, there’s also just the plain aesthetic he offers - the huge stylistic differences over 10 years (and even year-to-year) - and he was really prolific. The thought that Van Gogh was “crazy”, disturbed, or any of these things (of course, he was wild and drunk at times - also probably suffering sunstroke, and malnutrition at others), to me, isn’t reflected in any of his work, especially not that from 1887-1890 (what I consider his peak); he’s a master on par with any other master from any other era. His work exudes emotion, excitement, skill, playfulness, and ultimately, control. To me, he feels like a Zen Master. Really, I think all art I post, whether before Van Gogh or after, is measured against him, and that’s what helps make my blog so successful, and personally satisfying. Thanks for the question, I could easily write 100 pgs. on this.- Oliver
