Completely agree! I think so many of us can relate to searching for where to plug our creativity into, or just what to do with our lives. I know that speaks loudly to me. Thanks for watching, and for the feedback! -Nate
When I was younger, a bunch of Van Gogh's work was traveling to various art museums around the world and I was fortunate enough to see the collection. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I hadn't really thought about that in a long time. Thanks for giving me a break from school work and helping me remember my love for Van Gogh. This video was absolutely fantastic!
Wow, what an amazing opportunity that was! So glad to hear you liked the episode! Putting it together definitely sparked new interest in Van Gogh for me as well.
If you’re an admirer of van Gogh’s art (which I assume you are since you’re here) I highly recommend seeing “Loving Vincent”. It’s an *incredible* tribute to van Gogh. And, given how religious he was, and how suicide was viewed back then, plus the various clues... I’m inclined to believe the theory of how he died presented in “Loving Vincent”.
Yep, I agree, the movie is amazing! I absolutely love the perspective they used, which was very unique. I to believe there might have been more to his suicide than we believe. But, the fact definitely remains he was dealing with some severe depression and possibly bipolar disorder, but no one knows for sure. Whether or not that would lead him to shoot himself we will never know. Thanks for the feedback and subscribing!
Well, perfect timing since I'm about to release 7 episodes on Van Gogh! I traveled all over France where he lived, painted, and even died. I speak with experts about his work and his health conditions. I think you'll love them! As for accuracy, I thrive on accuracy. I do copious amounts of research and have my data checked by an art historian. But, there are some aspects about his life that we just don't know for sure. For example, did he really shoot himself? I say the evidence that we have available says he did. But, many disagree! Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Hahaha! At this point in history, I have a feeling most were eating moldy bread at some point! However, since he spent most of his short life in France, I would say he probably ate crusty, super hard baguettes, which don't usually mold since they have no oil in them.
Sounds like he had Asperger's, I was lead here by Ellie Goulding's beautiful rendition of "Vincent". My Daughter has high functioning Autism, her mind, memory, effortless abilities amaze me. Van Gough, Thank you. :)
I've often wondered the same thing! Honestly, how many "disabilities" are out there that should be labeled as a super power. Your daughter sounds pretty amazing! Thanks for the feedback!
So with you on Dali. He’s been my favorite since I was 13 years old. Painted a couple of his works on the walls of my room. Well, at least tried;) Thanks for the feedback!
Vincent reminds me a lot of Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Both were creative souls whose mental health got in the way of a bright future, and both were artists.
Good point. I think there are a LOT of artists and creatives like this. I'm not sure they are the crazy ones or if the rest of are? Either way, super appreciate the feedback and for subscribing!
@@artrageousnate I think the word crazy is part of the problem with the stigma. Also, we still are working on improving healthcare for those that need it - it’s not nearly where it needs to be. Honestly your content was great aside from the comment on mental healthcare today.
A film very much worth watching is Leonard Nimoy's made for TV movie, Vincent. Nimoy play's this as a one man show and portray's Vincent's brother, Theo. A lot of the script is Nimoy reading from Vincent's letters to Theo. This could be static and uninteresting, but Nimoy brings both Van Goghs to life. It's gripping and fascinating.
Well there's a deeper meaning into why Vincent cut his ears off. It all started when he met this girl and she had burn marks because of treatment, Vincent is too emotional and he wanted to share the same pain with the girl so he cut his ears off so that they would share the same pain and he gave it to the girl because Vincent thought that this was the best idea to help the poor girl
Where as I appreciate your enthusiasm and the work in producing this video, as it turns out though, Irises (1889) are not orchids, and were not painted upon his arrival at Arles, rather much later in St.Remy while in hospital. Proper identification, and chronology of works fused with his emotional arc is the story of Van Gogh. This should be the focus, rather than an airing out of a persons unsanitary conditions, vices and bad eating habits. Van Gogh was a deeply troubled man, he painted furiously to cope with the diminishing reality of his life. Today we celebrate is art as some of the greatest produced by humankind, but I would argue his legacy is what a human can accomplish, even at the bleakest hours of ones life.
I watched your vids in art class and I absolutely love your vids. You are so into it and happy and you make the videos interesting. Even though I don't really care about his type of stuff, I wanted to tell you this.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciated reading this. Truth is I work really hard with pretty much no budget trying to make these episodes I’m so passionate about! Truly appreciate knowing your teacher is using them, but more so that you enjoy them! Thanks again for the support!🙌🙌
loved this video, and your channel...I am visiting Avignon next week, and planning on doing a Van Gogh tour in Arles. I've always loved Van Gogh's work and knew few facts about him. I was looking for videos on Van Gogh to learn more about his life before the visit, and this video really hit it out of the park! Thank you
Thanks so much! What an awesome experience you will have! I will also be in France this summer filming. I was fortunate enough to live over there for a bit, and love the Arles area. Glad I can give you a bit of prep! Thanks so much again for the support!
Hi Nate, it´s a great job! I love your projekts! Your videos are entertaining, resourceful and informative. I think you show us the narrated art history of the future! It´s trendsetting! I am very grateful for that! Many thanks and Greetings form Hungary!
Wow, your message made my day. Thanks so much for not just watching, but sending some feedback & always appreciated support! Hopefully we make it over the pond soon to film in Hungary. Glad to know someone over there is tuning in! Thanks again!
It seems that quite a few painters licked their brushes clean, the paint containing lead lead to "the Mad Hatter" syndrome. Add his love for Absinthe (from a herb called Wormwood in English and Artemisia Absinthium in Latin) to it and his short escapade in the UK with a lady and you get the picture.
What a great video, it was an even more entretaining way of learning art history and I hope you keep on doing it. It was so much fun to watch, thank you!!
Paul and Vincent were good friends but they had a lot of conflicts because of Vincents anger issues. You forgot to tell a lot and focussed more on were he lived then on the Pain he had the go throug the majority of his life. He was poor and depressed.
Lost soul I definitely think you are correct, but I do believe I touched on all these aspects. Paul and Vincent were definitely friends, and both were unique and had their own issues. It’s difficult to overview every single aspect in deep detail, while trying to keep an episode to a reasonable length. Super appreciate the feedback and for the support!
@@artrageousnate i get that. It's just thata i wrote a biography about him for school so i just wanted to point out some facts but it's till a great video tho. :)
Without Jo Van Gogh were would Vincents art be now? I envision a vagabond being hired to take it to the dump. How many artists works and names have dissapered because of never being promoted well.
I imagine if it were not for Jo Van Gogh you and I would not be messaging right now! Honestly, she is the one we have to thank for putting Van Gogh and his work on the map! Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!
aggelikix You are definitely correct! I believe I verbally say he cut off part of his ear, but when I animated it I just chopped the whole thing off. Guess I’m a lazy animator! Ha! Thanks for the feedback!👍
@@artrageousnate ahahahaha its fine!! its not that it matters anyway, its the act that counts, both with his ear and your video! im just a huge van gogh fan and i really like such details
@@aggelikix3571 According to Dr. Rey, who examined Vincent after the incident, the lobe is pretty much the only part of the ear that wasn't cut off. Rey even drew a picture of it for the author of the biographical novel "Lust for Life," who was doing research for his book in 1930. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/van-gogh-cut-lot-more-his-earlobe-180959778/
"Vincent was probably a bit Vicky and hard to deal with"... do yiur homework. You have it BACKWARD, Gauging was the cockpit one. Vincent wrote Theo that it was a good thing there were no guns around, since Gauging had such an emotion temlerment, might not be safe around him... This was well known about Gaugin, a real narcissist and vain about his body and skills (eg, always picked fights boxing matches and duels using his sword/epee, which he carried with him EVERYWHERE).,Vincent was quiet and tame compared to Gaugin...
So now is the question why people like his art nowadays. When he was alive nobody wanted his art and he almost died of poverty. Is it about the stories of his letters ? Then maybe he was better of as a writer, Pls tell me what you think of Vincent his art. Ps, I came to this by unwanted made a painting that people say it's like his style.
I definitely don't think he was a great writer, and the intent of his letters seems to be more informational than creative story telling. His letters most definitely sparked interest in his art, which was great despite taking far too long. I personally feel to appreciate his art and technique you have to always remember he was trailblazing a new way of seeing and applying paint. Yes, his technique is not rocket science, but like most world-changing ideas, simple is often powerful. Being the first at anything often means rejection by the public.It takes time, but hats off to any artist who sticks to their passion despite rejection. Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!
@@artrageousnate Thanks for posting it, And yes it takes time, But what really made him getting successful after he died ? I want to know so I can adapt to that with my paintings. I guess most people want to see recognition in art and no open eye fpr a new trendsetter. Ps, I have started a traveling museum, I sometimes show my art at exhibitions worldwide. 🙂 🙏🙏🙏
New knoledge says that Vincent didn't shot himself ! He was regularily bullied by two sons of the local policeofficer . It seems they took dad's gun out of the draw and thretened Vincent with it , I guess it was an accident , not on perpose . In the 1950s one of the sons seems to have confessed this on his dieingbed . To be honest , I can't believe Vincent to commit suïcide , his paintings were to lively and vivid for that .
Yeah, I know all about this particular theory. There are so many out there. Honestly, the gun shot according to the report was at super close range. It had to be due to the type of gun that was found at the site. I've held a version of that same gun while in Auvers sur Oise, and it is super small. Also, even today this town is super small. During the time Van Gogh was there the town was used to visitors like him. Dr Gachet took in patients like Van Gogh (actually, lots of other artists) and they would roam about the town as well. Thus, I don't think his behavior was a novel experience. I LOVE all these theories. Truth is we will never know what exactly happened. But, after walking through the field where he died I found a deep respect and sadness for the depression Van Gogh was clearly going through.
It is believed with credible logic that Vincent was killed by a young male as opposed to having committed suicide. There is an episode of 60 Minutes and a couple of documentaries about it if it interests anyone.
You seemed to have the important aspects in his life and show a few visuals that I have not seen. There is controversy over his death as some believe that young lads shot him, however the suicide factor is in the main about lacking achievement with his art and the death gave our civilisation an artist striving for his art with passion and problems. Kirk Douglas was good in the film lust for life.
Yes, you are correct! It was often absinthe, but honestly they thought drinking it was good for your health. I'm sure it had an effect on him, however, I question if he drank it before or while painting. It's so strong it will either knock you out or make you so tired you can't function. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
@@artrageousnate yes sir. Thats it you got. Ya many artist would drink that stuff. And consume drugs to give them inspiration. For there artistic work thanks👍😁
That's really interesting. I had to look up what that acronym meant, and I have to agree. I've read a lot of ideas such as bipolar. Either way, he clearly beat to his own drum. I just wish he could have lived long enough to realize that made him freaking awesome and not a freak. Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!
2009Bowiefan Technically, if we really want to be picky here, he sold a few sketches and pieces to family, such as the sketch his uncle hired him to do. The one, formal painting he sold was The Red Vineyard. I appreciate the feedback, and hope despite the negatives you informed me about there were some positives👍
Nate, mate, sorry, but you got the auction price wrong by a factor of 10! It was 10 times as high: www.nytimes.com/1987/03/31/arts/van-gogh-sets-auction-record-39.9-million.html
Im surprised PBS is still pushing lies about Van Gogh - even. by 2017 the truth about Gaugin cutting Van Gogh's ear off was known, as well as the truth about 2 kids shooting him, and Van Gogh taking the blame since he knew he was dead anyway... At least they got the intelligence part right...
midnightchannel Appreciate the feedback, and how interested you are in the history! I would say there are plenty of speculations surrounding his ear and death. I was definitely aware of both when I researched and wrote this. However, the two points you mention are definitely not facts, but theories. The one I do imagine could have some traction is that he could have been shot instead of killing himself. But, there is no way to know for sure. I do know there is proof that he had been bullied by people and kids while he was in the area, and some question if someone just couldn’t stand him anymore. What I’m even more interested in his what medical conditions he had. I’ve spoken to several doctors who have studied Van Gogh and many feel he was bipolar, and suffered from manic episodes. Of course, his diet and drink of choice was crazy terrible and toxic, so I’m sure that didn’t help. Either way, the story is fascinating! Thanks for watching!
Hahahaha! I really appreciate the way you broke that down phonetically! I've actually addressed this in a previous comment or two below if you want to check it out. Which way to pronounce his name was not an easy choice!
Thanks for the feedback! I've actually seen the movie, which is amazing. Honestly, no one will ever know for sure, but after visiting the site and speaking with historians I think it's plausible for sure that he shot himself. I'm just glad his sister-in-law took the time to get his story and work out there!
Săracul om Van Gogh ce era pe capul lui , trebuia să lucreze ,avea nevastă ,el vroia să lucreze aia nu îl lăsa ,s a gândit că dacă mai aduce pe una o să fie mai bine ,da așa și a îngreunat viața, că îl înnebunea când vedea ce făcea ele
He definitely suffered from something, but what we are unsure of. I have spoken with many experts and doctors and have heard several ideas. One of which that comes up often is that he may have been bipolar, which does make some sense. Thanks for the feedback and for watching/subscribing!
JL Wallace Hmmm, have some specific examples? I do far too much research for each episode, and often bring in an art historian to confirm any fact claims I might have made. Of course, as with many dead, famous artists, there remains lots of mystery, which I love and makes for great discussions!
Louie Neira He, being me, knows how to pronounce both names according to their native language. However, there was a lot of discussion as to how I should pronounce his name. In the end we chose this prononciation since it’s more commonly used. At the end of the day, I’m more focused on his life and work and not so worried about the exact pronunciation in this case. Anyway, thanks for watching!
@@artrageousnate So it's okay for the Dutch to call New York Nieuw Amsterdam, because that's more easy for us to pronounce, or call San Francisco Heilige Frans (Saint Francis) ? I can't quite follow your logic here. Every time I hear someone on TH-cam talk about Van Go it feels like they didn't do their homework or can't bridge the cultural gap, in which case making a documentary on van Gogh will only create more confusion. Go, go, go, Go do your homework.
I've actually addressed this in comments below. I'm well aware of how to pronounce his name in his native language. My team and I along with an art historian went back and forth on whether to pronounce it in his native language/intention, or how it is commonly pronounced around the world. Trust me, I speak French as well, and often laugh at how often we butcher French words used in English! At the end of the day, the content matters most to me, and if I was able to shed some light on a very misunderstood artist, and perhaps inspire someone else, I say it was worth it! Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!
THIS GUY SHOULD REALLY ITS OUT OF RESPECT OR LACK THERE OF HE SAYS TAO ITS PRONOUNCED THEO ' . I REALLY GET PISSED OFF WHEN PEOPLE WHO KNOW BETTER ' GET AWAY WITH BS .
Wow, not sure this was necessary. I know how to pronounce it both ways. Our team went back and forth with how we should pronounce both Theo and Van Gogh. At the end of the day, I really don't think it matters that much. I mean, when I travel everyone butchers my name and I don't think twice. At the core this episode was incredibly well researched, planned, and executed. My goal is to focus on making art history more fun, engaging, and relatable. This episode is geared towards elementary-age students.
Haha! Well, you are probably right on that one, as disturbing as it sounds:/ Needles to say, Van Gogh was anything but physically healthy. Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!

For crying out loud, do your homework... He was shot by a kid with his brother looking on... And he did NOT cut his ear off.

Look up what you can make out of the mold from rye bread. Then his paintings will really make sense haha
@@Gingerbred_Hed I know exactly what you mean. To bad he couldn't get it on paper :/
His "insanity" has also been proven to have been hereditary porphyria...

Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!
@@artrageousnate
Thanks for posting it,
And yes it takes time,
But what really made him getting successful after he died ?
I want to know so I can adapt to that with my paintings.
I guess most people want to see recognition in art and no open eye fpr a new trendsetter.
Ps,
I have started a traveling museum,
I sometimes show my art at exhibitions worldwide. 🙂 🙏🙏🙏
New knoledge says that Vincent didn't shot himself !
He was regularily bullied by two sons of the local policeofficer .
It seems they took dad's gun out of the draw and thretened Vincent with it , I guess it was an accident , not on perpose .
In the 1950s one of the sons seems to have confessed this on his dieingbed .
To be honest , I can't believe Vincent to commit suïcide , his paintings were to lively and vivid for that .
Yeah, I know all about this particular theory. There are so many out there. Honestly, the gun shot according to the report was at super close range. It had to be due to the type of gun that was found at the site. I've held a version of that same gun while in Auvers sur Oise, and it is super small.
Also, even today this town is super small. During the time Van Gogh was there the town was used to visitors like him. Dr Gachet took in patients like Van Gogh (actually, lots of other artists) and they would roam about the town as well. Thus, I don't think his behavior was a novel experience.
I LOVE all these theories. Truth is we will never know what exactly happened. But, after walking through the field where he died I found a deep respect and sadness for the depression Van Gogh was clearly going through.
It is believed with credible logic that Vincent was killed by a young male as opposed to having committed suicide. There is an episode of 60 Minutes and a couple of documentaries about it if it interests anyone.
Well he wasn't instantly killed. He still managed to drag himself back to the Auberge Ravoux where he succumbed to his I juries two days later
His name was not pronounced Van Go.
You seemed to have the important aspects in his life and show a few visuals that I have not seen. There is controversy over his death as some believe that young lads shot him, however the suicide factor is in the main about lacking achievement with his art and the death gave our civilisation an artist striving for his art with passion and problems. Kirk Douglas was good in the film lust for life.
Vincent van go was drinking a hallucination alcholic drink witch i cant recall the name they made in Amsterdam and helped him. Be creative
Yes, you are correct! It was often absinthe, but honestly they thought drinking it was good for your health. I'm sure it had an effect on him, however, I question if he drank it before or while painting. It's so strong it will either knock you out or make you so tired you can't function. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
@@artrageousnate yes sir. Thats it you got. Ya many artist would drink that stuff. And consume drugs to give them inspiration. For there artistic work thanks👍😁
Van Gogh seems to share INFP-T traits... takes one to know one
That's really interesting. I had to look up what that acronym meant, and I have to agree. I've read a lot of ideas such as bipolar. Either way, he clearly beat to his own drum. I just wish he could have lived long enough to realize that made him freaking awesome and not a freak. Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!
Tao...????...Theo...?
Vince Govianni Actually, you don’t pronounce the « h » sound. 👍
Vincent vangoh is the god of smash ultimate
Also, he did not sell a few paintings in his lifetime, he only sold one.
2009Bowiefan Technically, if we really want to be picky here, he sold a few sketches and pieces to family, such as the sketch his uncle hired him to do. The one, formal painting he sold was The Red Vineyard.
I appreciate the feedback, and hope despite the negatives you informed me about there were some positives👍
Sure, good show.
Not sure,but he may have had a dog that looked like this one!

Nate, mate, sorry, but you got the auction price wrong by a factor of 10! It was 10 times as high:
www.nytimes.com/1987/03/31/arts/van-gogh-sets-auction-record-39.9-million.html
Gogh is not pronounced 'go'. it's more like Gokkhh
Or Auvers-sur-oyse 😅 and Dr. Gashet 😅
✨💫
Im surprised PBS is still pushing lies about Van Gogh - even. by 2017 the truth about Gaugin cutting Van Gogh's ear off was known, as well as the truth about 2 kids shooting him, and Van Gogh taking the blame since he knew he was dead anyway...
At least they got the intelligence part right...
midnightchannel Appreciate the feedback, and how interested you are in the history! I would say there are plenty of speculations surrounding his ear and death. I was definitely aware of both when I researched and wrote this. However, the two points you mention are definitely not facts, but theories. The one I do imagine could have some traction is that he could have been shot instead of killing himself. But, there is no way to know for sure.
I do know there is proof that he had been bullied by people and kids while he was in the area, and some question if someone just couldn’t stand him anymore.
What I’m even more interested in his what medical conditions he had. I’ve spoken to several doctors who have studied Van Gogh and many feel he was bipolar, and suffered from manic episodes. Of course, his diet and drink of choice was crazy terrible and toxic, so I’m sure that didn’t help.
Either way, the story is fascinating! Thanks for watching!
No stop! You don't pronounce his name as van go you pronounce his name as van *choking sound* o *choking sound*
Hahahaha! I really appreciate the way you broke that down phonetically! I've actually addressed this in a previous comment or two below if you want to check it out. Which way to pronounce his name was not an easy choice!
MY art teacher said she knew you
JUSTIN GAMES Not sure who she is, but tell her thanks for showing my episodes! Are you from Indy?
@@artrageousnate yes I am and her name is mrs. Yong
You have to see the movie “Loving Vincent” it explain why vincent couldnt have shot himself
Thanks for the feedback! I've actually seen the movie, which is amazing. Honestly, no one will ever know for sure, but after visiting the site and speaking with historians I think it's plausible for sure that he shot himself. I'm just glad his sister-in-law took the time to get his story and work out there!
Săracul om Van Gogh ce era pe capul lui , trebuia să lucreze ,avea nevastă ,el vroia să lucreze aia nu îl lăsa ,s a gândit că dacă mai aduce pe una o să fie mai bine ,da așa și a îngreunat viața, că îl înnebunea când vedea ce făcea ele
Monet
Thomas Barker I love Monet. Have a huge episode planned, including filming at his former home and studio outside of Paris.👍
Dutch, English and French is not impressive, it's normal there.
Haha! So true! Of course, over on this side of the pond it’s beyond impressive;) Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
He had schizophrenia
He definitely suffered from something, but what we are unsure of. I have spoken with many experts and doctors and have heard several ideas. One of which that comes up often is that he may have been bipolar, which does make some sense. Thanks for the feedback and for watching/subscribing!
Not orchids, irises!
There is a lot of misinformation here...
JL Wallace Hmmm, have some specific examples? I do far too much research for each episode, and often bring in an art historian to confirm any fact claims I might have made. Of course, as with many dead, famous artists, there remains lots of mystery, which I love and makes for great discussions!
He can pronounce Theo correctly but not Gogh?
Louie Neira He, being me, knows how to pronounce both names according to their native language. However, there was a lot of discussion as to how I should pronounce his name. In the end we chose this prononciation since it’s more commonly used. At the end of the day, I’m more focused on his life and work and not so worried about the exact pronunciation in this case. Anyway, thanks for watching!
@@artrageousnate So it's okay for the Dutch to call New York Nieuw Amsterdam, because that's more easy for us to pronounce, or call San Francisco Heilige Frans (Saint Francis) ? I can't quite follow your logic here. Every time I hear someone on TH-cam talk about Van Go it feels like they didn't do their homework or can't bridge the cultural gap, in which case making a documentary on van Gogh will only create more confusion. Go, go, go, Go do your homework.
New York is easier to pronounce compared to Nieuw Amsterdam
And he might not have killen himself.
Killed*
You forget to tell what Alcohol did to his brain….the poison
Fuck the guy who told him not to make music
maybe you should learn how to pronounce his name before anything else? Sorry but its quite elementary?
I've actually addressed this in comments below. I'm well aware of how to pronounce his name in his native language. My team and I along with an art historian went back and forth on whether to pronounce it in his native language/intention, or how it is commonly pronounced around the world. Trust me, I speak French as well, and often laugh at how often we butcher French words used in English!
At the end of the day, the content matters most to me, and if I was able to shed some light on a very misunderstood artist, and perhaps inspire someone else, I say it was worth it!
Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!
THIS GUY SHOULD REALLY ITS OUT OF RESPECT OR LACK THERE OF HE SAYS TAO ITS PRONOUNCED THEO ' . I REALLY GET PISSED OFF WHEN PEOPLE WHO KNOW BETTER ' GET AWAY WITH BS .
Wow, not sure this was necessary. I know how to pronounce it both ways. Our team went back and forth with how we should pronounce both Theo and Van Gogh. At the end of the day, I really don't think it matters that much. I mean, when I travel everyone butchers my name and I don't think twice.
At the core this episode was incredibly well researched, planned, and executed. My goal is to focus on making art history more fun, engaging, and relatable. This episode is geared towards elementary-age students.

Syphilis art 🙂
What diseases can do to you.
Haha! Well, you are probably right on that one, as disturbing as it sounds:/ Needles to say, Van Gogh was anything but physically healthy. Thanks for the feedback, and for watching and subscribing!
I didn't realize Van Goth had synesthesia. That's awesome.
