Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night at the MoMA | Artrageous with Nate

[@Heliosgoku]

Everytime I hear about Van Gogh I get a bittersweet feeling. It's great nowadays lots of people enjoys his art but I can't even begin to imagine all the suffering he lived.

[@artrageousnate]

Yeah, I feel the same way. It causes me to remind people to support your local artists NOW. I love learning from the past and appreciating the masters, however, we can't forget to support the artists who continue to the call to create.

[@lilkris3008]

I love the moment in dr who when he gets to see how much his art means to people nowadays one of the few times I wished a show was real

I like the way she talks about art. A lot of art experts sound so pretentious talking about art, but she just sounds down to earth.

[@artrageousnate]

justonefyx So glad you liked hearing from her! I completely agree with what you are saying, which is why I asked to interview her rather than a curator. She has an education background and really knows how to present information. Thanks for the comment!

[@jamiexavier1546]

It really should be at the Van gogh Museum in Holland.

[@artrageousnate]

I know where you are coming from, and understand why you may think that should be. However, from the perspective of the artist, most simply want to sell their work and see it enjoyed by as many people as possible. I don't think they intend for all their work to be in one location (and most definitely not all their best work.) Not everyone can fly to the Netherlands, so I'm glad many of Van Gogh's pieces are all over the world to enjoy.

[@paulcheeseman1437]

Jamie Xavier I completely agree

[@rekaszendi5190]

Well , not everyone can fly to the USA either, but i see your point.

If the Van Gogh Museum can come up with about 100 million dollars it can be there. Until then, it’s exactly where the previous owners wanted it to be.

[@hanskuijsten2380]

The Netherlands, thank you very much. NOT Holland.

[@bernardpopp541]

She did the greatest commentary on this artist ever...especially so, because she corrected herself from saying Vincent had religion in every brush stroke, to "faith & spirituality" ...an infinite degree of distinction in that!!!!!!! Primitive people put their spirituality in all that they do, as did Vincent, while modern man tends to compartmentalize & separate the spiritual from the physical, so to speak. Vincents joy & personal torment is all in his work...bittersweet to view when you know his life (as another commenter expressed) Stand before his originals, and you can feel the man, sweat & joy, tears and jubilation all!!!!!

[@bernardpopp541]

i clicked thumbs up, and the total went down (?!?)

[@artrageousnate]

Bernard Popp So glad you appreciated the video! Larissa is fantastic, and since her background is in education, she really knows how to communicate. I also agree that for many artists there is no separation between the physical and spiritual, and I’m sure for Van Gogh creating was a spiritual practice. Thanks for watching!

[@aran8406]

Vince - dude shut up? They are simply appreciating a painting no one asked for your opinion

[@willieluncheonette5843]

"Vincent Van Gogh, one of the Dutch painters, could not sell a single painting in his whole life. Now only two hundred paintings have survived out of thousands that he painted, because nobody took care of them. He was simply distributing them to friends; nobody would purchase them. People were afraid even to hang his paintings in their sitting rooms because whoever would see them would think that they were crazy: what kind of painting are you hanging here? People were taking them - not to hurt him - thanking him, and throwing his paintings into their basements so nobody would see. Now each of his paintings is worth a million dollars. What happened in one hundred years? The man himself was forced into a mad asylum when he was only thirty-two. And he was forced because of his painting - he was not harmful, he was not violent, he was not doing anything to anybody. But anybody who looked at his paintings was absolutely certain that this man was mad and unreliable. He should be put in a madhouse. If he could paint these things, he might do anything….” For example, he always painted stars as spirals. Even other painters told him, “Stars are not spirals!” He said, “I also see the stars. I see that they are not spirals, but the moment I start painting them something in me says so strongly that they are spirals. The distance is so vast… that’s why your eyes cannot see exactly what their shape is. And the voice is so strong. I am simply unable to do anything else but what my inner being says to do.” And now physicists have discovered that stars are spirals. It has gone like a shock throughout the world of painters, that only one painter in the whole history of man had some inner contact and communication with the stars - and that was a man who was thought to be mad. And because he was thought to be mad, nobody was ready to give him any service. Every week, his brother used to give him enough money to last for seven days. And he was fasting three days in a week and eating four days - because that was the only way to purchase canvas and colors and brushes to paint. Painting was more important than life. He committed suicide at the age of thirty -three. Just after his release from the madhouse, he painted only one painting, which they had prevented him from painting in the madhouse. He wanted to paint the sun. It took him one year. He lost his eyes… the burning sun, the hot sun, and the whole day long he would be watching all the colors, from the morning till the evening, from the sunrise to the sunset. He wanted the painting to contain everything about the sun, the whole biography of the sun. Everybody who was sympathetic to him told him, “This is too much. Just studying it one day is enough; it is the same sun.” Van Gogh said, “You don’t know. It is never the same. You have never looked at it. I have never seen the same sunrise twice, never seen the same sunset again. And I want my painting to be a biography.” One year… the whole day watching the sun… He lost his eyes, but he painted. And when the painting was complete, he wrote a small letter to his brother: “I am not committing suicide out of any despair - because I am one of the most successful men in the world. I have done whatever I wanted to do in spite of the whole world condemning me. But this was my last wish, to paint the whole biography of the sun in one painting. It is completed today. I am immensely joyful, and now there is no need to live. I was living to paint; painting was my life, not breathing.” And he shot himself dead. You cannot categorize him with ordinary suicides. It is not a suicide - out of despair, out of sadness, out of failure - no. Out of immense success, out of total fulfillment, seeing that now, why unnecessarily go on living and waiting for death?… “I have done the work that I wanted to do.” Every creative artist has to understand this: the moment people start thinking about him that he is a little bit off center, that something is loose in his head, he should rejoice that he has crossed the boundary of the mundane and the mediocre. Now he has grown the wings which others don’t have."

A bit addition to this art from my perspective view it almost seems as if the artist was looking out from a lens of a baby coming out of a wobm the way that the sky is showing the movement of his brush as if they were ripples that are visible more as energy fealds around the objects of light in this case the objects appear to be stars in the night sky. What is interesting to me about this art peac it is also that contrast between the idea of the art taking a look from it being seen as the vision of a new born child and a man that was living in his final hours of life. Thank you for sharing his work.

Van Gogh's paintings now sell for 75 million USD or more. What I am wondering is if always the real paintings are hanging in the museums, or just well crafted copies. Personally I'm not sure the real stuff is on the wall. And in the case, such a small one, piece of cake to copy ....

[@artrageousnate]

Great point and great question! It is really crazy knowing how much many of these paintings are worth. This one is actually covered with a layer of glass, which you can’t see unless you get really close to it since it’s anti-reflective. So yes, this is the real painting! Keep in mind that the value of these paintings are assessed often, thus, museums keep crazy insurance policies at hand. To give you some idea, when I filmed in front of Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm I had to have a $10 million insurance waiver on me:)

[@alcormier7197]

i used to work at a museum that has a monet and a gogaun in one gallery and the paintings were not insured. the museum could not afford the insurance cost, so they had survailance cameras on them instead...for the control room guards.......it was a disaster waiting to happen, luckily it didnt the years i was there.

One wonders what today's effusive Van Gogh critics would have said had they been contemporaries!

[@swampybman7741]

As absinthe, the drink, was over used in those days and in France, one has to understand what effects that had on the arts. ( Usage was even higher in those areas inhabited by artist in the areas they lived in). Knowing, or better said that once revealed, the viewer can understand the relationship that drugs and art have upon each other. We today in the heroin world mind set, see the contributions of artistic works world wide. VVG usage of absinthe, reveals what the mind renders with saturated yellows and greens. Little wonder he took his own life shortly after these works. Drugs have been the "secret" of many craft ventures and it seems it leads to appalling end results for the art creators. Even the drugs used over in all times ( both old world and new) led to accidental "trips" that resulted in higher art claims and untimely deaths. Treatments for syphilis gave in many cases the same results as drinking absinthe. Technical aspects of the arts allow those who want or need to push those limits even further along with no consequences for themselves. Hence over usage and/or over dosing continues to this day in the realms of art and the need to go further out. The art critic is no better than the Roman watcher in the Games in first century onward. Both crave what they know is gory but pleasing in its artistic presentation. Mankind wishes to see what humanity can produce at its very limits. Its what makes the Masters different from the main.

[@artrageousnate]

Super appreciate all the information in this. I definitely agree that absinthe was knowingly and often unknowingly playing a roll in the creative world. As for Van Gogh, I have spoken with many doctors and psychologists who also believe he more than likely suffered from Bipolar disorder as well as clinical depression. I also know that in the early 1900s and 30s many artists, even jazz musicians, were smoking a lot of weed. But, I don't know that they ever let the drugs control them, or would attribute their success to them. Of course, I obviously advocate that their are ways to tap into your creative core without drugs, which is evident in some of the greatest creatives of the past and today. Thanks again for watching, subscribing, and sharing episodes! -Nate

[@_helmi]

I'm replying to a 4 year old comment in 2022 - I guess back then before the pandemic, drugs had always been associated with great arts and masterpieces. Fun fact, The Starry Night, Van Gogh's magnum opum (like how Da Vinci is known for his Monalisa) was painted when Van Gogh was at his most healthy and sobered self, most authentic and not only allowed but encouraged to paint, proved by the fact he was given a studio in the mental asylum that he voluntarily checked in. The usage of substances has ZERO connection with artistic creativity. As we understand more and more about psychology, I noticed one thing that's common among these great artists - authenticity. Just like fingerprints, no two persons have the same one even twins. Of course, these people were hailed as the greats only because the not-so-greats put them there. So yeah, to be creative is to be your authentic self. Period.

[@swampybman7741]

@@_helmi I do think that the artist is responsible for their own works and creativity. They do not need to be "high" to place their work ( either painting/singing/crafts, etc) Truly VVG had Talent but, he as well as others creat to an end or a wall. Where to go then? Picasso ventured forth looking for other ideas and colors. While some are creative in color mixing and techniques, others look for the deeper and further points in their world. I think one has to be sober to craft. Yet ideas and form (s) casn come from other "areas". VVG , to me, was one class act who loved life and dedicated a life of poverty to searching for that painting above all others! I prefer to believe that he lied about that gun shot. I lean towards the child being cleared of wrong doing. Here is the man!

Most people dont see this becuase they dont understand air population of the time. Vincent failed to truly capture the effect of the smog on the stars. Why he referred it as failure. In short a painting of air pollution.

Interesting! I've never heard of this theory. Definitely interesting since it's literally in the middle of farmland, and the closet bigger city would have been Arles. But, I would imagine most homes and the asylum itself was heated with wood and coal, so makes sense! You should definitely check out the episode I recently released where I filmed in the exact spot he painted Starry Night in Saint Rémy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2itYo2YlpaJaNU

@artrageousnate Review the june 1889 reed ink drawing stary night. It is what is known as a inversion (meteorology). It builds up over days and sets in areas like Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where theirs a drastically change in elevation

[@sethscheller584]

@artrageousnate Now go back and review stary night the painting it is of dawn breaking. No one has a fire for cooking because its like 0430 in the morning. the moon is yellow because of the smog. The parts I refer to as smog contain strokes of brown. BROWN. Is deliberately placed brown.

[@sethscheller584]

@artrageousnate there's three major city's near by on the river. Each city had massive coal burning factory with no filters.

@artrageousnate Cold air moved in from the north being stop by the mountains. Warm air from the Mediterranean sea moved in from the south and over the mountains. The warmer trapped the cold air at the base of the mountains causing a temperature inversion.

That cant be the real one, too famous

[@artrageousnate]

Giovanni Love It is! However, keep in mind it’s behind a pretty substantial piece of glass, which you cannot see because it’s very clean and anti-reflective. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!🙌

Nate knows art (and this work in particular) far more than he lets on. The contrast between his tone and actual questions is distracting. It's okay to make statements, rather than simply asking obviously leading questions.

[@artrageousnate]

TWIOCH You’re on to my weakness! Yes, I knew a lot about this painting beforehand, which makes it difficult when interviewing. This is definitely something I continue to work on. I suppose we all have our weakness to improve upon, and this is mine! Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

[@judii4370]

the crappy background music doesn't fit this masterpiece of a painting

[@artrageousnate]

Judy Sawyer well, thankfully the point is definitely not the music. Choosing music for these is never easy. We all have a personal music preference/style, so it’s impossible for me to find the perfect fit. Thanks for watching!

[@TheMjphoto45]

No way this should be left open. Needs to be behind glass

[@artrageousnate]

It's behind super clear, non-reflective glass;) No worries!

[@washingtonluizeleoterio5615]

[@mushrafaltaf]

The way this is just open and anyone could touch it makes me uncomfortable.

[@artrageousnate]

Mushraf Altaf Well, no need to worry, it’s behind a thick pane of glass. It’s completely anti-reflective, so you don’t notice it until your face is almost right against it! I wondered the same thing myself! Thanks for the feedback, and for watching!

[@mushrafaltaf]

@@artrageousnate Hearing that is a relief. Such a beautiful painting. Thank you for the reply!

[@michel_dutch]

Love the vid, but just wanted to ask: why do you pronounce Van Gogh's name like that? It doesn't even come close to how it should be pronounced. I do know the correct pronunciation sounds a bit weird, but saying 'Van Go' and leaving it like that is just disrespectful in my opinion. I know this channel is not about linguistics, but still... I expected better. That being said, I do wish to congratulate you on the high quality of your videos, keep it up!

[@vsboy2577]

This should be in the hands of a private Russian collector .

[@brian5154]

Brian Oosterbeek Nederland. PLERASE PLEASE STOP CALLING HIM VAN GO. THAT IS NOT HIS NAME. LOOK UP THE PRONOUNCIATION.

[@artrageousnate]

Hanny Fenwick I’ve actually addressed this in several comments below. I’m well aware of how his name is pronounced in his home country. Please reference my previous comments for more information.

[@fartboxer22]

Ok, Wrong.... Vincent did not make thousands of paintings.

[@Chiamex]

The background music is unnecessary 😒 It actually takes away from the subject and discusdion. Too bad.

[@cwsumit]

Americans… know it all 😂

[@hylu8057]

I want to touch it
