Imagine being a person who was depressed, lonely, and felt unloved. A person who could express themselves with their art and personal work, That was who Vincent Van Gogh was.

To be fair though she never said they couldn’t afford to buy a can of soup, but rather they couldn’t afford to heat it.

[@OmegaMouse]

If the climate activists got their way, it would be more expensive for people to heat up their soup. I thought these people wanted to get rid of oil completely? Now they're complaining about it being too expensive? I also thought they only cared about our "planet", but now they care about poor people? These fuckers are so confused and have no idea what they're even fighting for. Too many ignorant dumbasses like this walking the Earth.@@osprey305

Who is Van Gosh? I know that Van Gogh was an artist who died penniless, and anything but famous. He shot himself just over 133 years ago. Seeing someone throw tomato at one of his paintings is crazy. I would guess that the paining would not be an original and replaceable anyway. People that enjoy art are can also be passionate about the environment. Art is beauty, and beauty is art. Our environment is artistic beauty, a visual symphony.

@@jorgegarciarobles6019Tbh Art was a huuuuge investment back then especially ESPECIALLY if you planned on making a career out of it. If you wanted to paint and earn money you had to invest your own life into it. It’s why these paintings are so valuable. They were created during a time when art was for the few fortunate or rich enough to get into it.
