My fav artist is me
Vincent van Gogh is my favourite artist
VvG and Me tied for 1st place.
I wish van Gogh knew he's celebrated so much
Shireen Peter he knows
I'm pretty sure he does now and I'm sure he found his happiness he's been looking for
Look up Van gogh doctor who
He better not know rather than finding out he's been called '' selfie king''
There's an episode from Doctor Who where the Eleventh Doctor brings Van Gogh to the present. The curator, while not knowing Van Gogh was there, explained how a terrific artist he is, and Van Gogh (along with the viewers including me) cried.
I like to think this actually happened and even before he died, he knew how much he would be loved and celebrated.
referring to the finest artist in the world as a selfie king destroys my soul
Alice Hughes indeed. Much cancer
It hurts...a lot
Geez, it's a joke, chill...
same
ClaraFreesky it’s her opinion and how she feels so stfu
Strange that Vincent was so poor and after his death, his paintings made a fortune ... not for him.
Aamina S and that's why these alux showed up here cleaning his ass...if not who would care this poor artist..and especially alux.com..the place which inspires future billionaires but cannot become one ...and came here to inspire future billionaires..😂😂
EXACTLY!
I have been looking for these kind of comments on the famous artists history. I agree. Sad that those artists were living poor with low payment.
jitendra shaw the fuck u talking about
Its not that dissimilar to some others like the person who was the person who created the programming language that is the C Programming language, those who came later, Jobs, Gates etc stood on the shoulders of him. He could have made a fortune out of the language but he released it for free, was really just developed for developing the UNIX OS entirely, but then expanding upon it much later with what other developers have done. He actually died did Dennis a little earlier than Jobs sadly and yet no one knows about him.
I want to hug this man
Me too!
Me too

"The Starry Night" is my favorite painting. When I look at the painting, I can't help but feel a sense of peace.
Piece of garbage, his early work was amazing, starry night is a scrabbled garbage and van gogh said himself its a failure and he wasnt satisfied in the slightest with starry night and other art works he did when he was in mental institution.
Same. When I look at it, it makes me faint because it has swirls and it makes us dizzy
The Starts Night painting is my favorite too. I kinda didn't get the hype on it in the beginning when I first saw it as a kid, but NOW after going through some problems that painting has a deeper meaning to me. The painting is so calming and dreamy, it calms me down and it definitely has a sense of sadness to it. I think maybe that's why he didn't like it, bc he painted it on the sense of how he was seeing the world. Which is why there's a lot of spiral circles and squiggles. To him everything was an optical illusion at that time in asylum
There is a theory that he painted that painting while in the deepest throes of madness (he painted it in the mental asylum) and that the painting is his altered view of reality.
It's my best art
I saw the film "loving Vincent". It was phenomenal at bringing his paintings to life.
Roger didit gonna see it next week, I literally cant wait!!!
I saw the trailer and it looked really interesting
It was such a great film.
A lot of its probably wrong tho
bringing his paintings to life? well the movie looks cool, yeah but he did not draw it sooo
Because art never came from happiness
I think artists suffer so much when they produce their best work. It is said you must have suffered to become a great artist. How true is that today?
Sadness never comes from sadness, but from happiness lost.
One of the most bullshit statements ive ever read.
So true 😢 LOVE VINCENT 🌺😞
I want to tattoo this phrase
Did anybody realised what a great brother he had?
Theo
ThePlayer supportive
Vincent would have despised the type of people who pay millions for art bought purely for investment and are utterly incapable of appreciating.
That is just your jealousy speaking.
@@terrywbreedlove I guess you didn't get what he said.
If he was autistic he would be more pissed that others had his stuff. Also clearly the guy suffered from understanding 3 dimensional space.
I am despised
No he wouldn’t lmao, he would’ve been honoured
he became one of the biggest mysteries in this universe.
Yes, for thos who have nothing better to do with their lives.
@@bernardpoulin9684 so what should people be doing with their lives that you find interesting?
Ashtoreth
Oh he’s a genius you can’t ask him! 🤦♂️
@@mohammadshahade8753 you can ask me now
Vincent van Gogh is my favorite artist
Swarna akshya He was I, and I am him. Do you believe in reincarnation?
That's pathetic
Larryft Şebiyıl Why?
Swarna akshya Same, he got the same birthday as me 30th March and he had a lot in common with me. Its an honor but there is something I found quite unsettling about it though.
The thing is, when I was really young I found myself to have deep passion for arts. I always draw or paint as it's like a part of me.
But the bad thing is that im also pretty mentally fucked up and had contemplated suicide. At school I was getting a "special care" from the counselors because they're afraid I might harm myself again.
keep calm and carry on... I've dealt with suicidal thoughts for a good amount of time so don't ever feel alone
Vincent sparked my love for art, and I'm thankful he did. I wish that I could give him a hug and tell him how beloved he really was/is.
_"He only sold ONE Painting during his lifetime"_ 😭😭😭
😭
@Vincent Van Gogh
Sorry
I feel like crying after hearing that 😭😭😭
He didnt want to sell them cheaply so they didnt, most were given to Theo as a payment to support him.
same
i hope that he rests in peace, he really had a rough life
It's so sad... 💔 He is really struggling... Both on his financial state and his mental state. 💔😢 When all he ever wanted was to be understood and be loved. 💔
*was
As a fan of Van Gogh for many years I find this video rather annoying. Sien the love of this life and an affair with Gauguin: I don't t think so. Is it important to know what some paintings sold for and where they range in the list of most expensive ones? By sensationalizing him you do not justice to him. If people want to know more about him, take some time and read his letters.
I agree with you.
Thanks for putting this piece of trash into perspective, I was more than annoyed, as an artist who spent time studying Vincent and his style, it was an insult to hear these twisted stories and speculations.
if you'd read his letters, you would understand why calling Sien the love of his life is probably not out of bounds. He cared for her in a way that he rarely expressed for anyone else in his life. As for the "affair" with Gauguin, well, that's just pure speculation, as is the recent (pretty implausible) theory that he was "murdered."
Well, in his letters he writes that they were not in love, that he saw her as a 'help-meet', and she him as a provider. There was never romantic love there. The girl in London could be put in the "love" column, and he had a couple of youthful infatuations, but I don't think he ever found a woman he cared enough about to call a "love of his life". I think he thought he had time...
it's true he never called it "love," but he writes of her and her son very warmly, and it's clear he cared for them both very much. it's as close as he came to love and his dream for a family life in his whole life.
"where future billionaires come to get inspire" LMAO. Nice channel, lame catch phrase.
you didn't hear the rest..xD
I thought so too!! It just made me roll my eyes and skip to the video.
literally wanted to end the video as i heard that, cringed way too hard...
yeah, its so stupid
the whole intro was like one long dry heave
my van :*gets stolen*
me: where did my
I understood that reference
Smart
..... 😂
LOL XD
Van go
Vincent was a troubled man... It's sad to think how lonely he really was, people were cruel and jealous even. Idk it just hurts to think that he isn't around anymore for me or for anyone else to support him. He will forever be remembered and loved by all kinds of ppl around the world ❤
“If you truly love nature , you will find beauty everywhere ."
"no gun ever found" Wrong. The gun is even on display at the Van Gogh museum.
And pray tell. . . . Who is alive today to corroborate that THIS gun is THE gun. There is no proof of anything suicidal. Please people, let's stop being yellow journalistic boobs!
@Ojithma Gamage "Feels sad that great artists had to go through a sad life."
If only he was less great, then it would be fine.
Ojithma Gamage and that is relevant to my statement...how?
Before I watched this, I watched his story... I felt a certain connection with him, I felt a very heavy feeling. I can't help it but to cry... knowing that he desperatly want to see the brighter side of life... every painting is so alive, u can feel the feelings and emotions that he put into it.
tht dr who episode sure cut some onion 😢😢😢
I still cry every time I watch it
Can you tell me which episode and which series? I've never seen it..
Zeriouslly Dr who season 5 episode 10
Thanks a lot Noelia!
I knew I was going to cry when chances started playing
The line between genius and insanity is so very thin.
All I can say to that is BS!
Very true
The last theory is the main theme of the recent film Loving Vincent and I highly recommend it for any Van Gogh fans, the art was gorgeous,the cast phenomenal, and the story heart-wrenching. Also the Doctor Who episode Vincent and the Doctor is amazing as well.
There was nothing mentally wrong with Vincent Van Gogh. He was simply a sane man, born into an insane world. With an obsession for expressing that dichotomy through his art.
May he find the peace in the next life, that eluded him in this life.
“common depression”
Seriously? Depression shouldn’t be potrayed like that
He had multiple, way too serious mental health issues and depression was one of those.
It’s common tho...
depression is more common than ppl realise
what? so you want it to be portrayed as something rare and tragic? to fulfill ur weird (sad and tragic ofcourse) romantic desires?
The paintings of Vincent are very colorful and beautiful. I think that all this paintings were made with passion and love, moreover he reflected the kind of world that he imagined. He was a great artist.
I'm listening to Vincent (Starry, starry night) by Don McLean. Such a beautiful and sad song.
Ahh, yea. Starry, Starry Night: Beautiful music. Listen to it sang by Lianne La Havas as well. Absolutely lovely : )
Vincent Van Gogh is my favorite painter.
Why does she say 'gogh' like she's trying not to puke
Loving Someone it sounds more dutch I gues
Yess! I'm glad someone else noticed it xD
Because that's the proper pronunciation.
aestheteblue well she's trying but not really
She’s trying to hard to sound proper
I love all of his paintings, I feel sad that he felt unloved.
is my favourite of all! 🌻
I had a love at first sight on his painting 'starry starry night'. I couldn't get it out of my head since the day I saw the painting. Lately do I know that the paintor of it was suffering ALSO from depression.
Shanny Mae De Leon same
Finest painter that ever lived.
My friend owns a Vincent painting given to his great grand parents in 1888 and held by the family since then. Never publicly displayed. Top art experts have confirmed it is genuine. Called "Lighthouse at Sete". Sailing boats in the harbour provides a beautiful scene. I am seeking self portraits of VG if anyone knows of one on offer.
The more I learn, the more fascinating he becomes. We can never know the truth, but it does not matter. His devotion to his craft is awesome.
It is incorrect to say he was undiscovered in his lifetime. The avant-garde Belgian art scene were aware and excited by his work.
true, he got some acknowledgement while he was still alive, from his peers and some journalşsts. He was literally on the verge of seing his own success. If he could only live a few more years...
Well my father Hendrik van Gogh is descended from Vincent's Uncle Hendrik, but we haven't named any of the boys Vincent. Thx for the interesting video.
Probably bc of the suicide stigma
Wow you’re Vincent ‘S ancestor??? How cool is that
Past Your Eyes milk Do not forget Vincent Van Gogh, his name is also Vincent!
Yadana There are hundreds of ancestors.
How amazing is that😍
I recently saw the Dr. Who episode with Van Gogh and I cried and cried. Seeing him finding out how much his paintings were worth and how beloved he still is was just beautiful and heartbreaking. Whomever thought that one up and wrote it, I send you lots of love.
Van Gogh is so inspiring.💛 He is my most loved artist and surely will always be the greatest artist for me, his life’s background is so similar to me and his story is so soulful and meaningful for me. I love him. ✨
I'm Dutch and the way you say Dutch words is (sorry to say it) pretty terrible
not to be rude towards Alux, she pronounce a lot of foreign words wrong, especially French words, but its ok, we know what she's saying.
Well that's really to bad,... I suppose you think every language should have words in them where it sounds like you are clearing your throat or snorting like a pig.
Bob Miller too*
Van Goth!
Its better than how they usually say it
Akira Kurosawa created a film called Dreams which had six sketches in it. The one about Van Gogh impressed me the most. It was Akira Kurosawa walking through a museum and then daydreaming about walking into a van Gogh painting and it was done only in the way he could have done it. I am surprised you didn't mention this as one of the film tributes.
what is the name?
Starry night. What can I say. Stunning.
yes! My favourite
Ever see Starry Night as a yarn painting? 🙂🧶🎨👍🏻

This guy is the greatest painter ever, terrible life for a great painter full of emotions no one exchanged with him 💔💔💔
God bless you Vincent van Gogh.❤️
3:03 Just paint he has used pencil when he was a child because his mother was somewhat of an artist or self well retired, his mother had them (everyday) draw in their sketchbooks. It was a daily task for them but Vincent enjoyed it. Just putting this out there because he did indeed do art as a child
Stary night is my favorite piece of art of all time! 😍
everything in his paintings inflict sadness yet very heartwarming to see
Wish I had a time machine I’d go and get Vincent and bring him to today and let him see how famous and loved he became RIP Vincent
Two words
Doctor who
Great video, thanks. Irises, no doubt is my favourite. The colours are sensational. His work is something I cannot stop looking at. But I don`t know why, and I never will.
I was privileged to view the Sunflowers at the de Young museum in Golden Gate park San Francisco CA when I was a young child in school in Berkeley CA , we went on a class field trip my teacher was Jewish and took us to see ballet opera and symphony at Davies hall, she said " she wanted to expose us to the classics"
It was there that I fell in love with Vincent van Gogh!
This made me ant to cry he had mental health issues and didn’t get recognized for his amazing beautiful painting
I'm sorry. You are wrong. He DID NOT have a mental illness. Stop listening to emoting idiots with no knowledge of anything except soap operas.
@@bernardpoulin9684 why then did he check himself into an asylum?
I live in the Netherlands ❤
I love Vincent van Gogh 😁😁😁
PS. I Paint to😁
did any1 ask?
The Starry Night. My favorite painting ever. I dare not try to express why, because a comment box will never be enough.
Thanks for the video Alux.com.
I first learned of van Gogh in 4th grade when we studied great art works of the world. The first work we studied was Starry Night! I couldn’t take my eyes off it! I stared and stared!! I loved it and to this day it is my favorite painting! I have never seen any painting since I loved as much! Sunflowers is me second favorite!!
The starry night...
This guy got me inspired to paint again soon 🖌️🎨🖼️
Van gogh is the reason I love to paint. I didn't start to paint until 28 and we share the same birthday. I feel the suffering and pain of love ❤
Loving Impressionism and Van Gogh, I asked a local artist to try to replicate Starry Night in her style. She did a wonderful job and we have it hung in our great room, under a display light. When my wife and I ventured to Auvers-sur-Oise Oct, 2014, to pay homage to Vincent's and Theo's graves, we walked through the fields Vincent immortalized. Unforgettable experience.
my paintings are influenced by VG
he is my favorite artists.
Your pronunciation of van Gogh is so funny to hear as a Dutch, no hate ❤️
My American-ear is struggling too! Each time, my nerves reply!🙉😆
Thank you for sharing the life and legacy of Van Gogh.
I know what depression feels like. I’m just glad to hear that he is the happiest when he’s creating art. 😃
He has a deep sadness in his eyes. 😢 I feel his pain, sadness and happiness when he’s creating art.
We watched the recent Lasting Impressions here in Montreal and they featured all the art masters during the Impressionistic Era.
I cried when they started showing Van Gogh’s paintings. He was tortured because of his unhealed trauma, his mom dismissed his primal need to be connected to his family.
I feel sorry for he suffered so much. It must be hard.
Thank goodness for his brotherTheo who supported him during his short life.
We can see how his depression affected him due to a lack of support from his family and society.
Thank you Van Gogh for inspiring us all through your life and art. ❤
I love you unconditionally because I love myself unconditionally
An elitist channel which has videos knocking the poor is making a video all about a starving artist
how are they mocking the poor???
I really love Van Gogh's Starry Night 💙💚💛💜💓 It has been my fave old artwork since then that's why I made it as my FB cover photo. On the other note, I also set it as my desktop wallpaper until my boss noticed it and asked me, "Isn't that Van Gogh's art? Why did you set it as your background? He's crazy that's why he cut his ears right?" I wasn't even able to defend myself and it's sad that they regard Vincent as a crazy artist in a negative sense. I really wanted to tell my boss that time that there's more to the artist himself that made him notable and outstanding among the old artists. But then, nothing has changed to me, Vincent is still my favorite artist. I just hope I can defend the artist the nextime someone's going to belittle him. 😊
the fact that he started painting at 27 of age gave me a sense of relieve
I feel such empathy for this poor man.
Poor painter, I respect him soo much :,(
im writing a whole exam about him cause his story is so sad and meaningful it really makes me cry I got the right theme for me
The doctor who episode is epic I cried like a baby and I have loved Vincent ever since
I'm 27 and I'm barely learning to paint lol so random, I never knew. He's one of my favorite artists
I think you'll find that Rembrandt was the Selfie King. Look up how many self portraits he did
Almost 100
These were probably painted during moments he had no assignments. He had to study the face for possible new portrait assignments. Rembrandt van Rijn is by far the best artist I know.
Selfie is a modern invention created by the modern invention: cell phone with special lens. A self portrait is hardly that. Poor analogy in an otherwise interesting well-done video.
painting is not perfection image..it is the bit of the heart,mind huge imaginations and speak of one soul.I am proud painter.
In high school the art club went to see a Van Gogh. A day off school sure I went. And it changed my thoughts about art. I was mesmerized. The paint on many of the pieces was so thick it looked like you’d get paint on your finger if you touched the painting. And of course Starry Night just took my breath away. A day that even at age 72 I have never forgotten how lucky I was to go on that trip.
Beautiful presentation of the Life of Vincent Van Gogh
Love the Irises !!!
i really believe that Vincent cut off his ear because there were voices speaking inside him and that he wanted to not hear them anymore. The arguing between the other artists triggered him and he ended up cutting his ear.
Knowing someone with bipolar, yeah that's highly possible actually
Actually, he met a brothel maid who was mauled by a rabid dog and burned to stop from bleeding to death. So her face was horribly disfigured. Many of the men that came to the brothel laughed at her and he wanted to show her that he felt her pain and tried to draw the attention of the men to himself. :)
Sad but sweet.
Ah yes, the go to illness of the imaginary world of soap operas. Please indicate your proof (expertise in this regard) of this.
Ooo guess I'm a future billionaire
Oml
Wow!! A joy to view. Thank you so much for the info about him.
I really want to hug Him so much,and tell him that he wasn't worthless. I wish Time machines existed :(
The first selfie-king would be Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn, google him.
Orion X Exactly my thought!!
Selfie? Poor analogy, but funny. Did he have a smart phone or a canvas and brushes and paints. Who could use those for selfies?
Ignorance reigns when we elevate it to arrogance. . .
*He is the selfie king*
Now that made me happy
It's silly, but can make you laugh, lol!
He sent his paintings to his mother, who threw them under the house. If not for his sister-in-law saving them, we would have lost most of Vincent's works.
My favorite is Almond Blossom, I have been obsessed with that painting my whole life and Irises, I saw the last one at Getty Center and I was so touch that I almost cried when I finally saw a famous Van Gogh
He and the golden age of advertisement have the most influence on my art. What a brilliant man who could express his emotion into art. 💙☄🌠💙☄🌟
I find creative introverts to be my greatest role models.
Any Son Chaeyoung fan's here?? She really love Vincent Van Gogh artwork
Van Gogh was such a talented and prolific artist. At least, now he receives the full credit he deserves. Thank you for the video and the extra fact at the end)
I really liked the way you put the sign/label over the painting you were talking about. That made it easier to appreciate the painting. Great thinking!
Are you made a video about NIKOLA TESLA
hes my fav artist..
if u are artist and still alive ur arts price is very cheap but when u died ur artwork will be one of the expensive in the world... thats the meaning of life as artist
This Man is such an inspiration. Only if I had million dollars I would have surely bought one of his painting.
People this is serious I want to study the art and life of Van Gogh where do I start? Any recommendations??
Lust for Life by Irving Stone.
Several videos on UA-cam show Vincent's methods.
VanGogh ..King of the Selfie? Maybe u guys have heard of Rembrandt?
This is an outrageous attempt at institutionalizing one of the greatest artist and probably the most amazing painter ever to exist on this planet. A man who loved the ecstasy life could bring and who tried to capture this ecstasy for other more "normal" people.
Starry Night, St Remy is my favourite painting because it feels highly spiritual to me.
So much of this video is wrong. Dr. J. Louis Vasquez Phd. Artist and Art Historian.
I'm feeling vary sad
I loved that movie Loving Vincent. He's one of my favorite artists.
