If you ever get a chance to go to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, DO IT. I didn't really appreciate his works until I saw them up close. Flat pictures of his pictures do not do the originals justice.
An AMEN to visiting his museum. And aren't we blessed that Theo and Vincent had this strong bond between them, allowing Vincent to pour out his soul to Theo via the letters....truly a brothers love.
I agree I remember seeing a painting in Switzerland that was going to be sold by Van Gogh I thought it was amazing nothing like what you see in books. From what I remember had a est of £8,000,000 would think it would be a lot more now.
I loved cherries from the time I was 21 years old. I am now at 73 years old and now I love eyes. I will be known as a realist art painter. Eyes are where light comes into out heart.
Vincent means "they will conquer" It's a warning If you want to view Paradise simply look around and view it if you want to change the world then do it there's nothing to it Food forests Like the chocolate room from Willy Wonka's chocolate room Having trees full of edible things, delicious edible raw foods, having open fires & the smell of the flowers The warm breeze & the chattering of voices in the distance
He did not shoot himself. It’s been recently proven that boys in the village who bullied him, shot him. It was an accident and so he said he did it himself. No gun was found. He was left to die slowly, he could have been saved but it angered certain people as suicide was so frowned upon.
Too bad Vincent can’t come back to fill us in on all the details of his life that we seem so badly to have to know. To see a body of his work in person should satisfy all of our needs. Truly breathtaking in every aspect!
I grew up in Kansas City Missouri and many times I've got to see this painting just looking at it is beautiful who really cares if there was a bug found in the painting just looking at his work just helps realize it your world is small and that there is brilliant people out there who can paint who can play music.... If you ever get a chance to see any of his work for any of the great Masters go do it and just sit there and look at it don't try to examine it don't remember all the conspiracies to it just look at the work and see the beauty in their work
Becky Jo White-DeBusk I too often just stand there and soak this painting in. To me it's one of his best, though not as well known as some. So happy it's at the Nelson!
Becky Jo White-DeBusk I love doing that...just looking and putting myself in the actual painting. I can do it for hours if given the time. I can drift so far into the painting I'm looking at, that I can feel and smell the content it contains. It's incredible! Just like actually being there! I prefer not to drift into scary or uncomfortable paintings though so I try not to look at them too long or they'll make me feel ill and possibly ruin my whole day as well.
Fine art is often difficult to judge as far value. What makes his work desirable is the style in which he captures the moment. The figures...the subject matter...vibrant color scheme...originality... The viewer is seeing the work through the artists eyes. A visual reference is captured as though one were there at the time when the work was being performed. He had an uncanny ability to transport the viewer to his world. Remarkable.
@@sebastianmelmoth685 It's van Hoff. Van Goff, well ok because non-Dutch people have problems with the very gutteral sounds, but van Go? Where did that come from?
I'm particularly fond of his self portraits. So much depth, and he was truly masterful at capturing the spirit of the moment. Sunflowers...Starry Night...are very popular but I'm not sure why. In, or about, 2016 some paintings of his were discovered in an attic in The Netherlands. Close to one hundred works, if I'm not mistaken.
Funny you mention "I'm not sure why". I've went to the museum just to see an authentic Van Gogh. THe Sunflowers painting, the one that his brother´s wife didn't wanted to part with. And when I saw it... I saw no special energy coming out of it. Not impressive. Then I see the reproductions of the painting, the sovenirs, and its is a painting you can't take your eyes off. Something is fascinating. But I didn't got that feeling from the real painting. There was others Van Gogh on the wall, that I've never heard about and I found them more fascinating.
I'm so interested in Van Gogh, that I bought his DVD of his story in paint....It is the second time it welled up emotion in me of this artist...He had such a sad life, and seemed to be a very beautiful soul...I heard in the DVD that Theo (his brother) died six months after him and then I heard eighteen months....Anyways I know it was close as so were they....beautiful colors, and such interesting and talented work this man produced....
I always went really stoned on hash and weed when I used to go Vincent Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam 6 years in a row.The colors were out of sight man! SERIOUSLY beautiful and wonderful.
OMG First off I am obsessed with Van Gogh.. and watching this stunning project was like being in Heaven to me. How amazing. In fact I will watch it again now! xo
Actually it was found in both Van Gogh and Gogans' diaries that they got into an argument and ended up dueling and Gogan cut off Van Goghs' ear by accident and after they laughed about it and they told the authorities Van Gogh had cut it off himself so Gogan didn't get in trouble. This was only found out many years after both of their deaths.
I just LOVE this video!! Reminds me of college and the Art Appreciation class I took. From a family of Artists on my Mom's side, her being one of the gifted, I myself have a gift for painting. Fingers are NOT my specialty. My Mom actually told me, "Not everyone can paint fingers..." Her WORDS are w/me to this day. But Van Goe is NOT my favorite. Rembrandt is!!
His relatives used to hang his paintings in their kitchens and living rooms etc; until the 1960's or so when their value began to skyrocket out of sight. Must be pretty sweet to have a Van Gogh hanging in the bathroom
Thanks for sharing one of my favorite painters along with Monet and the Abstract Expressionists! Can relate...as a professional artist/painter I also paint over old paintings. Sure beats having to buy new canvases all the time!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE; when are people going to understand / believe that Vincent never cut his earlobe off, it was Gauguin with his epee ; and that Vincent never shot himself in the field and walked 2 km back to his room; it was that brat 16 year old Secretan boy !
So...a bit of a bug got into the paint while he was painting outdoors? And he painted over some earlier works that he didn't like? Wow. Earth-shaking revelations. I may not be able to sleep tonight. Thank you so-o-o-o much for luring me into watching this video about a "surprising secret." Zzzzzzzzzz
Mark T. I think your comment is both hilarious and well put.... and accurate....change nothing lol, gave me a good laugh and the salty one is the one busy focusing on you vs themselves .... yes VanGogh is/was always will be amazing to say the least. Both the man as well as his art and whether he was mentally ill, had lead poisoning or bat shit crazy in no way alters the unmatched beauty of his work and tender heart the mean had... albeit the latter part of my comment here is based on so many other comments not this one just thought to throw it in lol. Again, hilarious comment.
Thank you so very much. I can’t physically go to a museum anymore. *** I had expected to hear the song “Vincent” by a 1970’s musician Don McLean. I hope I spelled his name right. I want to check first on the internet but I don’t want to lose this post. I really am so thankful and will subscribe to your channel. I will tell my friends and family about this Vincent Van Gogh show, as it’s coming to my town.
The Van Gogh self-portrait shown at 6:58 was declared a fake! The real painting was found. The bandage on his ear that's wrapped around his head was one of the main mistakes made by the forger. The bandage does not wrap correctly around Van Gogh's neck and chin.
Vincent did in fact cut off his entire ear not just the lobe as thought , the actual drawing from Dr. Felix Ray has been found who was the doctor attending Vincent after the ear cutting showing the ear had been severed. The Van Gogh museum is in agreement with this new find.
I've heard recently that he didn't cut off his ear but lost it in the fight and he gave it to a woman he felt sorry for to say that he too was now like her because he lost his ear.
MoeSlislack Actually, the story is that his friend accidentally cut it off when they were dueling, for fun. He didn't want his friend to get into trouble so made up the story that he did it himself.
Gaughuin and van Gough were roomies in the south of France and after one of their many clashes Gaughuin announced he was leaving...couldn't take the stress. In his desperate attempt to keep Paul from leaving van Gough cut part of his ear. Either to gain sympathy or to show Gaughuin how sorry he was. It's was never very clear. After Van Gough's death Paul Gaughuin went on to become a popular artist in his own rite. Recently one of Gaughuin's Tahitian paintings sold to a private collector for an estimated 300 million$ U.S.
Read his three volumes of letters first! Been there and studied him for 40 years. He was totally neglected when alive, and now most people do not understand his work. It is fashionable to jump on the bandwagon now. He contributed to the use of colors and his execution was fast and instinctive. The Dutch have made substantial claims about his art because they make tons of money selling anything that is related to him. From books, copies of his work, and coffee mugs, he has become what he hated the most when he was alive! Always make money and make everything commercial, but the majority of the people fail to understand art in general. As an artist of 40 years, I am looking at his art objectively without the fame convoluting and affecting my understanding and feeling. Many artists like him fell by the way side. He became famous not so much because of his art, but because of the translation of his letters, and his sister in law who had them published. His contributions was that art could be different and colorful, and his brushstroke displayed the artist's temperament. The Expressionism style can be traced to his innovations in art. I never make a God-like figure out of any artist. A layman conforms and does not have enough understanding, feeling, or knowledge to see and to enjoy an artwork. They just get impressed by the signature because an artist's fame overpowers their true sense.
Years ago, when the Van Gough show came to Denver Art Museum, the audio tour already explained that Van Gough did not kill himself, but was murdered. Research.
not too many people shoot themselves in the side of the torso to commit suicide but a boy or boys in the village viewed Van Gogh as weird..a loner and shot him. Van Gogh said he did it himself...thats just the way he was also suffering from multiple conditions of poverty and lifestyle.
I was fortunate to see the largest display of Van Gogh's works ever assembled in Paris in the late 1950"s. Starry night was not in as good shape as it is depicted. There were cracks of paint in several places and some bubbling out of the paint. I saw all his famous paintings and there was not the security as you see today. I walked right up to Starry night, which I could have touched or stuck my nose on it if I had wanted, and stared at it. And... I was the only one standing in front of it though there were people walking around in the gallery but not crowded at all. Like the Mona Lisa, it's much smaller than you would think.
Your video essay was so thought provoking that I almost forget to click the thumbs up symbol. I suggest that you place a reminder at the end of your videos.
The famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is thought to have suffered from tinnitus as one of the symptoms of Ménière's disease. This condition also includes attacks of rotational vertigo, nausea and vomiting. ... Some medical historians now think van Gogh cut off part of his ear in an attempt to relieve his symptoms. Meniere's was not widely known and is barely understood in the twenty-first century.
As I get older, Don MacLean's "Vincent" means more to me than "American Pie." Why? Because the music certainly didn't die but Van Gogh did and all that talent he possessed.
Listening to this, I see how scenarios work, because the grasshopper is THE SYMBOL that had to be explained ... the painting is probably older than we have to think because it's MODERN, uses PASSION instead of skills and this makes the difference between P.P. Rubens and a contextual artist like Van Gogh. If career was my ultimate purpose, I would have chosen a different direction, but I have a more 'artistic' goal, KEEP THE MEMORY ... and the person who's painted himself, if you believe the 'Légende', is THE REAL HENRY VIII, the way Johanna saw him ... her sister, Catharina van Aragon, was A REAL HEROINE, she saved one of her sisters already, Marie, and divorced Henry so he could marry Johanna. Even when Henry fell in love with Johanna, she saw it as an extra stimulus because her sister was in real danger, since the king married Catharina de Medici. We have to learn about the Inquisition, making the Catholic Church a dangerous place and knowing what you have done, if becoming Pope is your ultimate dream, there's a reason to believe that it's not the best way to worship God, but Catholicism is THE ONLY RELIGION WITH A FEMALE ACCENT, and THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is about the little changes we make, not the big ones. Elisabeth, I was the daughter of Henry and Johanna, the real name of the King was Henry-James I, and he HATED THE IDEA THAT WOMEN COULD BE IN THE HIGHEST POSITIONS. Replace the inquisition with witch-hunting and you understand how history has been used to cover the disasters, we created, being detached from our ORIGINAL HOUSE. The only thing I ask Pope Francis is TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY INSIGHTS, the Holy Trinity is the same as KABALA, the Mother is Ka, the Father, Ba, and the 'Son' Mankind, that lives in its ultimate body or have become Ba'al. The rest is easy, use your voice and say NO, when it's not in your interest. The good news is that its better to miss something, than never have known ... we don't have to accept this bloody heritage and can use our extras for beautiful and inspiring things. My books are not 'correcting', but add something we were forgotten and I know for sure THAT WE WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER, FROM THE MOMENT WE MAY BE HUMAN AGAIN, WITHOUT ALL THOSE SELF-PROCLAIMED JUDGES WHO DECLARED THEMSELVES HOLIER THAN THE POPE!!!!
His name isn't pronounced 'van Go', the last consonant is pronounced as a voiced 'g' - it's softer than the 'ch' in the Scottish loch. If you have the possibilty of coming to France in Summer, it's worth going to visit Auvers sur Oise, north of Paris. You can see the café-restaurant where he died, but where he also spent some happy times there and got to know the family who ran it. It now belongs to a foundation that has preserved the place very well. You can order the same menu there that he would have recognised. In Summer they put out a small table in front of the café with a single glass of wine, in memory of him. There is a nice walk along the hillside where he and the others painted, where you can also visit the house of Docteur Gachet who looked after him. In the graveyard of Auvers there are the two graves of him and his brother, covered by two intertwined bushes. In the South of France, in Arles you can sit down for a meal in the courtyard of the hospital where he was interned for a while. He painted a picture of it, of course.
In Paris at that time, you could hardly point at someone on the street who didn't have a case of syphilis. So, my conclusion is that they were all nuts! I think they didn't have condoms back then, or else you would have surely have found a few condoms embedded in some of Toulouse Latrec's paintings as well.
Very interesting for sure and I have heard that painters do paint over other artwork to save money on canvas,too bad they couldn't tell how old that painting was,because of the grasshopper being dead already when it got on there,I'm sure there are other hidden things in other paintings from other artist,of course we know already what Davinci's paintings hid,I like to hear about these things about different artists
Very interesting video. I love Van Gough’s paintings but I didn’t know about the grasshopper. I love the music used here as well. Could you tell me what it is please. Subscribed. 👍

These poor painters who had no idea what Led does to the body and brain and used the paints loaded with led (Pb). Most ppl thought they were just crazy or whatever... In any case he did a lot of his paintings out in the fields with wind blowing etc. so I am not surprised.
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
If you ever get a chance to go to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, DO IT.
I didn't really appreciate his works until I saw them up close. Flat pictures of his pictures do not do the originals justice.
Glenn Howden Same with most paintings- Picasso for sure.
True but the queue can sometimes be a couple of kilometres long....
This is so true. Especially because of how thick he applied his paint, almost like frosting on a cake. Beautiful in so much depth in real life.
An AMEN to visiting his museum. And aren't we blessed that Theo and Vincent had this strong bond between them, allowing Vincent to pour out his soul to Theo via the letters....truly a brothers love.
I agree I remember seeing a painting in Switzerland that was going to be sold by Van Gogh I thought it was amazing nothing like what you see in books. From what I remember had a est of £8,000,000 would think it would be a lot more now.
There’s a grasshopper stuck in the paint on the canvas. Just saved you some time.

I loved cherries from the time I was 21 years old. I am now at 73 years old and now I love eyes. I will be known as a realist art painter. Eyes are where light comes into out heart.
How can 350 people hate this video about a man who suffered and suffered inspite of being the greatest artist of the world. Why?
Nikhil Sukumar the greatest IS DEBATABLE....

“Genius always has the slightest touch of madness.”
Vincent means "they will conquer"
It's a warning
If you want to view Paradise simply look around and view it if you want to change the world then do it there's nothing to it
Food forests
Like the chocolate room from Willy Wonka's chocolate room
Having trees full of edible things, delicious edible raw foods, having open fires & the smell of the flowers
The warm breeze & the chattering of voices in the distance
Look at Van Gogh’s “Wheatfield with Lark”...there is a sense of joy and peace...I believe on THAT day, Vincent was happy when he painted it.
He did not shoot himself. It’s been recently proven that boys in the village who bullied him, shot him. It was an accident and so he said he did it himself. No gun was found. He was left to die slowly, he could have been saved but it angered certain people as suicide was so frowned upon.
Lesley Kurdi well his brother, Theo, did try to save him. Vincent died in presence of Theo
it's never been proven. Simply speculation in a book. Unless you have a verifiable and reliable source.
Yeah youre right
Wrong
Too bad Vincent can’t come back to fill us in on all the details of his life that we seem so badly to have to know. To see a body of his work in person should satisfy all of our needs. Truly breathtaking in every aspect!

One of these decades Americans will figure out how to pronounce and spell his name correctly. Sigh.
Van Gough used the English pronunciation of his name during his time in England - Van Goff. So, many pronunciations are acceptable.

@@sebastianmelmoth685 It's van Hoff. Van Goff, well ok because non-Dutch people have problems with the very gutteral sounds, but van Go?

I find it helps you grow as an artist painting over old paintings

I always went really stoned on hash and weed when I used to go Vincent Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam 6 years in a row.The colors were out of sight man! SERIOUSLY beautiful and wonderful.
I follow the theory of the 2 boys killing Van Gogh in the field.
Baby Bunker It makes the most sense to me too, and the elderly man's confession should carry some weight.
Screeningmimi.. Absolutely. Did you see Loving Vincent? What a wonderful movie. It also goes into that theory pretty convincingly.
Yes! What a creative treatment of Van Gogh's life. :-)
OMG First off I am obsessed with Van Gogh.. and watching this stunning project was like being in Heaven to me. How amazing. In fact I will watch it again now! xo
Mike.. absolutely! Tragic story.. He was known as the Madman.. So it was certainly believable that he killed himself. Sad.
I find it insanely ridiculous how there are actual people who judge art, MIND BLOWN.
Actually it was found in both Van Gogh and Gogans' diaries that they got into an argument and ended up dueling and Gogan cut off Van Goghs' ear by accident and after they laughed about it and they told the authorities Van Gogh had cut it off himself so Gogan didn't get in trouble.

he didn't cut off his ear he got into a fight with mike Tyson
Yep, one day historians will start getting it right.
Your video essay was so thought provoking that I almost forget to click the thumbs up symbol. I suggest that you place a reminder at the end of your videos.
Really enjoyed his Exhibit when SC Museum of Art had it.
Love all the color he used!
The famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is thought to have suffered from tinnitus as one of the symptoms of Ménière's disease. This condition also includes attacks of rotational vertigo, nausea and vomiting. ... Some medical historians now think van Gogh cut off part of his ear in an attempt to relieve his symptoms. Meniere's was not widely known and is barely understood in the twenty-first century.
Ill be heading to see that painting on Monday! Havent gone to Nelson Atkins in years
Thank you for all you share. 💖💖💖
I loved van goh😦😦
seems like people don't always appreciate the special people that are right in front of them
Don't know why people appreciate someone's work only when they die😕
Buyer to art dealer: "Wait, this isn't an original Van Gogh painting, there's a cockroach in his beard - the original had a field mouse."
Not to be one of these know it all art elitists, but the painting you're referring to contained a barn owl in his beard.
We know the history of Van Gogh, just get to the suprise already, damn !
Gaugin asked Van Gogh if he wanted another glass of Absinthe, Van Gogh replied no thanks, I've got one ear.
As I get older, Don MacLean's "Vincent" means more to me than "American Pie." Why? Because the music certainly didn't die but Van Gogh did and all that talent he possessed.
Excellent video ... I especially like the history you provide ... Plus the grasshopper was a wonderful bonus ... Keep up the good work!
Listening to this, I see how scenarios work, because the grasshopper is THE SYMBOL that had to be explained ... the painting is probably older than we have to think because it's MODERN, uses PASSION instead of skills and this makes the difference between P.P. Rubens and a contextual artist like Van Gogh. If career was my ultimate purpose, I would have chosen a different direction, but I have a more 'artistic' goal, KEEP THE MEMORY ... and the person who's painted himself, if you believe the 'Légende', is THE REAL HENRY VIII, the way Johanna saw him ... her sister, Catharina van Aragon, was A REAL HEROINE, she saved one of her sisters already, Marie, and divorced Henry so he could marry Johanna. Even when Henry fell in love with Johanna, she saw it as an extra stimulus because her sister was in real danger, since the king married Catharina de Medici. We have to learn about the Inquisition, making the Catholic Church a dangerous place and knowing what you have done, if becoming Pope is your ultimate dream, there's a reason to believe that it's not the best way to worship God, but Catholicism is THE ONLY RELIGION WITH A FEMALE ACCENT, and THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is about the little changes we make, not the big ones. Elisabeth, I was the daughter of Henry and Johanna, the real name of the King was Henry-James I, and he HATED THE IDEA THAT WOMEN COULD BE IN THE HIGHEST POSITIONS. Replace the inquisition with witch-hunting and you understand how history has been used to cover the disasters, we created, being detached from our ORIGINAL HOUSE. The only thing I ask Pope Francis is TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY INSIGHTS, the Holy Trinity is the same as KABALA, the Mother is Ka, the Father, Ba, and the 'Son' Mankind, that lives in its ultimate body or have become Ba'al. The rest is easy, use your voice and say NO, when it's not in your interest. The good news is that its better to miss something, than never have known ... we don't have to accept this bloody heritage and can use our extras for beautiful and inspiring things. My books are not 'correcting', but add something we were forgotten and I know for sure THAT WE WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER, FROM THE MOMENT WE MAY BE HUMAN AGAIN, WITHOUT ALL THOSE SELF-PROCLAIMED JUDGES WHO DECLARED THEMSELVES HOLIER THAN THE POPE!!!!
Amazing how that insect got in there
Same 😮
wow thank you for the nice video. much appreciated.
so much mystery in the world.
nice examples of his paintings, thanks...
enjoyed this and the enthusiasm of the speaker
He should have a movie
Van Gosh!!!!!! What a video!
02:57
Van Gogh died 29th July 1890.
His brother, Theo died 25th January 1891
So, approx 6 months, not 18.
I do like that style...
Tech will reveal new discoveries and data that will help people know a lot more about van gogh’s art, and the rare events along his lifetime.
Many people today has now thought that they didn't know that a Grasshopper was in one of Van Gogh's paintings.
He didn't shoot himself! He was shot!
Jiminy Crickets! This really bugs me!
Thanks for sharing this was interesting
I object to the fact that at 0:21, when describing that there is a secret hidden in a painting, the maker of this video uses the wrong painting.
Half way in to the video before we discover the painting in question.
His name isn't pronounced 'van Go', the last consonant is pronounced as a voiced 'g' - it's softer than the 'ch' in the Scottish loch. If you have the possibilty of coming to France in Summer, it's worth going to visit Auvers sur Oise, north of Paris. You can see the café-restaurant where he died, but where he also spent some happy times there and got to know the family who ran it. It now belongs to a foundation that has preserved the place very well. You can order the same menu there that he would have recognised. In Summer they put out a small table in front of the café with a single glass of wine, in memory of him. There is a nice walk along the hillside where he and the others painted, where you can also visit the house of Docteur Gachet who looked after him. In the graveyard of Auvers there are the two graves of him and his brother, covered by two intertwined bushes. In the South of France, in Arles you can sit down for a meal in the courtyard of the hospital where he was interned for a while. He painted a picture of it, of course.
In Paris at that time, you could hardly point at someone on the street who didn't have a case of syphilis. So, my conclusion is that they were all nuts! I think they didn't have condoms back then, or else you would have surely have found a few condoms embedded in some of Toulouse Latrec's paintings as well.
His en plein air seascapes had sand embedded in the thickly-applied impasto. The grains of sand showed up fifty years later when x-rayed.
Very interesting for sure and I have heard that painters do paint over other artwork to save money on canvas,too bad they couldn't tell how old that painting was,because of the grasshopper being dead already when it got on there,I'm sure there are other hidden things in other paintings from other artist,of course we know already what Davinci's paintings hid,I like to hear about these things about different artists
RIP 🌹 27 🌹
He also has words and shadow pics using the textures.
You got wrong information brah. He was shot by 2 boys from the nearby village.
Very interesting video. I love Van Gough’s paintings but I didn’t know about the grasshopper. I love the music used here as well. Could you tell me what it is please. Subscribed. 👍
We got his one painting here,, were going to sold it

Bill Burr would make a good Van Gogh I think. If they made a movie of Van Gogh.
It is not confirmed he shot himself, and it is not confirmed he only sold one painting.
dude, this is cool
New Vincent movie this month(Nov. 2018) with William Dafoe - - At Eternity's Gate! First in US I bet.
For next video, bring back Father Guido Sarducci's "Find the Pope in the Pizza" contest. Makes about as much sense!
Makes me wonder if any of the paintings he painted over would have been celebrated masterpieces had they been preserved.
What was the augment about?
4:16 ‘... it was most longly, long dead...’
These poor painters who had no idea what Led does to the body and brain and used the paints loaded with led (Pb). Most ppl thought they were just crazy or whatever... In any case he did a lot of his paintings out in the fields with wind blowing etc. so I am not surprised.
