Vincent (Starry, Starry night) with Van Gogh’s paintings
Don McLean’s famous song Starry Night, a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest painter the world has known.
Van Gogh spent his early life working for a firm of art dealers and after a brief spell as a teacher, became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not embark upon a career as an artist until 1880. Initially he only worked with somber colors, until an encounter in Paris with Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, whose brighter colours and style of painting he developed into a uniquely recognizable style, which was fully developed during time spent at Arles.
He produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life, during which time he cut off part of his left ear following a breakdown in his friendship with Paul Gauguin. After this he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, and committed suicide.

gawd, what masterpieces! I had to see it again. The Irises is an extremely complex painting. So rare for an artist to bat so high in creating masterworks.
you’re welcome!
yeah…some people doesnt just know what is real music
thank so much for watching…
Two great artist. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The paintings are beautiful the colors are mesmerizing. Van Gogh’s sunflowers are his most famed work, but there is more color and depth in his landscapes.
Amazing, the music and the pictures from Van Gogh! Wonderful!
Agreed on the music. It just doesn’t measure up to the art in any way, shape or form. But there arent many Vincent tribute songs to pick from…
Don McClean music depresses me…
Vincent was a truly great artist. Why does this have only 6,834 Views?… “they’re not listening still”….
God what a classic this is and what a great video.Love it so much.
I aspire to be as good as Vincent, but I don’t know how to get established as an artist. I either need an agent or a publicist.
check out my new tech deck video
its fucking sick
