I’ve got to get back to reading but...

You asked where the room with walls full of van goghs painting "the starry night" is ? It's a great exhibition in Berlin which is called "van gogh alive " and this is one of the rooms there:) you sit there reading some of his quots while listening to classical music and being surrounded by changing paintings .. Maybe I helped you ;)

what's the name of the Van Gogh book you're reading? Thanks! ☺️

just found your blog, love it! so glad there are so many other van gogh admirers out there!

Last day of summer....

can you answer me privately if you answer so i get a notification? haha thanks but anyways what movie is the gif from on your blog????

For the person who asked if the eating yellow paint thing was true - he DID eat paint, but only during his episodes, at which point he was mostly unaware of his actions, and unable to really control them. Yellow paint is never specifically mentioned in his account of these episodes or in the official Saint-Remy doctors' commentary, although paint in general is. I think the yellow paint for happiness might be a slight exaggeration that's worked its way into being perceived as fact over the years.

what is the actual pronunciation of his name? (In Dutch)

Is the story about van Gogh eating yellow paint to get the happiness inside him true?

How is the book on Van Gogh you're reading?

Is it a sin to love, to feel the need for love, not to be able to live without love? I consider a life without love a sinful and immoral state.
