Can the art hoe side of tumblr please stop romanticising Vincent Van Gogh’s suicide attempt? Gogh ate paint because he knew it was toxic. He didn’t do it because yellow was a pretty, happy colour and he didn’t think eating it would make him ‘happy inside’. He did it because he wanted to die. The medical notes of Dr Peyron, Vincent’s physician, reveal that Vincent wanted to poison himself by eating paint, which is why he wasn’t allowed into his studio while suffering from an attack. Can we stop with the ‘find your yellow paint!!!!!!’. Suicide isn’t pretty. Mental illnesses aren’t beautiful. Depression isn’t to be sought after. Stop romanticising.
Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact, deep blue. And over there: lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness and the winds, swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars!
so I went to a museum in DC today where they had all these Van Gogh paintings, and nobody really stopped me (????) when I got like 3 inches from the painting to take this
Vincent Van Gogh used to eat yellow paint because he thought it would get the happiness inside him. Many people thought he was mad and stupid for doing so because the paint was toxic, never mind that it was obvious that eating paint couldn’t possible have any direct correlation to one’s happiness, but I never saw that. If you were so unhappy that even the maddest ideas could possible work, like painting the walls of your internal organs yellow, than you are going to do it. It’s really no different than falling in love or taking drugs. There is a greater risk of getting your heart broken or overdosing, but people still do it everyday because there was always that chance it could make things better. Everyone has their yellow paint.
