ok. having posted the previous painting wheat field under thunderclouds i cannot leave out its famous sibling:
vincent van gogh, wheat field with crows (1890)
van gogh's works were not the fashion during his lifetime. he could not sell his paintings (i believe he sold just one painting during his life), but other artists recognized his genius. after his death, his paintings quickly gained reputation. vincent to me is probably the antinomy of fashion and contemporary fashion-like art.
theorem: (ralf kwaaknijd, 2008)
the fashionality in contemp art is largely due to the relativistic opportunism of postmodernism.
proof: we leave the proof as an exercise to the reader.

i love van gogh, so much energy. so much torment too, his father was so unkind to him, his brother theo his only link to sanity. unrequited love mixed in with some sort of unbalance in his nature.
