I am a firm believer that art can change someone’s life, and help to develop a more beautiful, creative and smarter point of view, which can also improve your performance in your career. Like the Renaissance’s artists taught us, combining science, philosophy, mathematics, visual art, literature… etc will assist us to achieve excellence. Which is why I’m so happy to find out that some universities are including art classes to their med curriculum: Why Med Schools Are Requiring Art Classes

In this documentary every word spoken by the actors is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilized, tormented and yet loving man; someone who can express his deepest and darkest feeling with beauty.
I always say that a good painting does not need to be explained with words, but Vincent’s letters are as much as his art as his paintings; with his own words Vincent describes his unique perspective of life, his poetic heart, with words he painted his soul.
If you haven’t fallen in love with Vincent yet, I’m sure after watching this you probably will: Vincent Van Gogh: Painted with Words

“Some people are born teachers. Some people are born footballers. I’m a born burglar.”
Says Octave Durham confessing to have stolen two priceless Vincent Van Gogh paintings, feat which only took him 3 minutes and 40 seconds. For someone who brags for being born with burglar’s natural skills, he doesn’t seem very wonted of thinking it through.
What bothers me the most with these “art crimes” is the fact that they (the burglars) are putting in risk something they have no idea how to properly handle (sometimes causing some serious damages to it); and the saddest part is that the stolen art works, if not recovered, can never be replaced. They not only steal the art, they also steal our cultural heritage, our past and future, our identity. Read more:As Stolen Van Goghs Return to View, a Thief Tells All

What does it take to move people?
What does it take to make them happy?
What does it take to teach them feelings?
To unite continents
To inspire a smile?
To combine sciences and faculties?
To speak to the scholars as well as to plebeians?
It takes simplicity,
It takes madness,
It takes blue as well as yellow,
And in grand quantities.
It takes him,
It takes Vincent
No last name needed.

So apparently the publisher of “The Lost Arles Sketchbook” by Van Gogh is threatening to take legal action if anyone says the drawings are fake:
“reserved the right to undertake any appropriate action to repair the damage caused by these claims that describe her [the book’s owner] as a forger.”
In my opinion the drawings have a very modern style, and lack of details. My guess is that if the drawings are fakes, then they have been made relatively recently. Let’s stay tuned….
