a video of the Dutch Post Impressionist Van Gogh

Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, Vincent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings. Since his death, he has become one of the most famous painters in the world. Van Gogh’s paintings have captured   more...the minds and hearts of millions of art lovers and have made art lovers of those new to world of art. The following excerpts are from letters that Van Gogh wrote expressing how he evolved as a painter.
Van Gogh's depression deepened, and on 27 July 1890, at the age of 37, he walked into the fields and shot himself in the chest with a revolver. Without realizing that he was fatally wounded he returned to the Ravoux Inn where he died in his bed two days later. his last words were "La tristesse durera toujours" (French for "the sadness will last forever").  less

Just a morning of writing, music, and art. A thank you to Enya for the song, Drifting, and to Vincent Van Gogh for some beautiful art to accompany my poem. I hope you enjoy!

The truth about Islam - Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Van Gogh created the 10-minute movie Submission. The movie deals with the topic of violence against women in Islamic societies;   more...telling the stories of four abused Muslim women. The title itself, "Submission", is the translation of the word "Islam" into English. In the film, women's naked bodies are veiled with semi-transparent shrouds as they kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah. Qur'anic verses unfavourable to women are projected onto their bodies in Arabic. After the movie was released in 2004, both Van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh did not take these very seriously and refused any protection.

Van Gogh's murder
Mohammed Bouyeri assassinated Van Gogh in the early morning of Tuesday November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam while he was bicycling to work. He shot him eight times with a handgun and Van Gogh died on the spot. Bouyeri then cut Van Gogh's throat, nearly decapitating him, and stabbed him in the chest. Two knives were left implanted in his torso, one attaching a five-page note to his body. The note threatened Western governments, Jews and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding). The note also contained references to the ideologies of the Egyptian organization Takfir wal-Hijra.

The killer, Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch citizen, was apprehended by the police after being shot in the leg. Although born in Amsterdam, well-educated and apparently well-integrated, Bouyeri has alleged terrorist ties with the Dutch Hofstad Network. He was also charged with the attempted murder of a police officer and bystander, illegal possession of a firearm, and conspiring to assassinate others, including Hirsi Ali. He was convicted on July 26, 2005 and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.  less

A very long Eruption Solo by Eddie Van Halen worth watching.

My friend Sammo offers his unique vocal stylings; bad whistling; and rude noises to a Van Morrison classic. For Phoenix and the rest of you Sammiacs.

He was lucky enough to dance with a hot chick but man that's got to be embarrassing!

Vincent Van Gogh...a very short Bio of his life as a struggling artist and as a person is shown through these paintings in this video. I choose these particular paintings that corresponded to the lyrics   more...of "Vincent".Myself being from Holland and also loving the arts, I had for a long time researched who Vincent really is. From that I had ...such compassion for him,thru this I saw him in a different light.Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, Vincent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings. Since his death, he has become one of the most famous painters in the world. I hope I was able to convey that to you after you have viewed this video. Would love your comment. Thank you!:)  less
