QotD: People involved in "World Teachers Day" should send praises to teachers like Mrs. Booth.

  • Oct 5, 2007
  • Post a comment

In honor of World Teachers' Day today, tell us about a teacher who had a positive impact on your life.

Her name was Mrs. Booth, my thirdgrade school teacher of Whitney school in Boise, Idaho,... which she has long passed. It was in 1953 when I was in the third grade, when she said to the class that we were all going to form a letter together,... to send to an artist back east that she liked.  Anyway, this happening, and should I say art experience, had one large factor attached to it,... that more than likely help mold me later on in life, to understand completely what is actually going on in this wonderful world of fine art of ours.  I'm not going to write the full story, but the ones interested in reading it can go to this web address  http://vanrijngo.bravejournal.com/entry/7455  to read the full story,... while even being able to look at the painting that particular artist had painted for a classroom demonstration.

On this day in history yesterday: July 27, 1890

On this day in history yesterday: July 27, 1890 - At the Chateau d'Auvers, Vincent van Gogh presses a revolver to his chest and pulls the trigger. Somehow the bullet misses the vital organs, and the painter manages to stumble over to a friend's house. The following night, Van Gogh dies of an infection in the arms of his brother Theo.
 
This above is what some think happened on that day, July 27th, 1890,... along with many other different scenarios, such as these ones below.
 
 

La tristesse durera toujours

Auberge Ravoux

The Auberge Ravoux, Auvers-sur-Oise, in 1890

On this day in 1890, Vincent Van Gogh - at the age of 37 - walked into the wheat fields in Auvers-sur-Oise and shot himself in the chest with a revolver. Without realizing that he was fatally wounded, he returned to the Ravoux Inn (pictured above), where he died in his bed two days later. His brother Theo hastened to be at his side and reported his last words as “La tristesse durera toujours” (French for “[the] sadness will last forever”).  After Vincent’s death, Theo was not able to come to terms with the grief of his brother’s absence, and died six months later.

    Yes, and on this very day of July 27th, 1890, it has all been said many times before, and written into many van Gogh books, what had happened. But,.. unfortunately,… the stories has been evading the truths for too many years now. It is finally time to get on down to the real knitty-gritty, about what really did happen, and the real cause of Vincent shooting himself in a pile of you know what-tee,… and to put it in layman’s language, where everyone can understand and come to the rightful conclusion.

    Vincent did not shoot himself in the chest, or much less at the wheat fields where they say he did, for the bullet entered his belly, and being a small caliber, remained there. He then got up, out of the pile of farm animal dung, where he shot himself at, which happened to be in the coral of a farm, just as was stated by someone who knew the true and honest story.

    Madame Liberge had heard her father talk about Vincent’s dungicide in these terms: ” I don’t Know why people don’t tell the true story. It was not over there , by the cemetery, that poor fellow put a bullet in his chest. He left the Ravoux’ inn in the other direction of the hamlet of Chaponval. At the rue Boucher he entered a small farmyard. there he hid behind the dunghill. then he committed the act that led to his death later.”
    Madame Liberge added: ” These were my father’s very words. Why should he have wanted to invent such an absurd story and falsify history? Anyone who knew my father could tell you that he was always to be trusted, and for what he said.”

    Now, if this incident of him shooting himself were to have left him lying dead, the gun and Vincent would have been found exactly where this had occurred, and there would be no problem with it authenticity of this so-called story. As everyone knows, who reads about this incident, they know the firearm was never recovered. That is because when he didn’t die, Vincent stuffed the gun into that pile of dung just as far as his arm would let him. He never told them where or what happened to it, only that he could not remember what he had done with it. The gun was never retrieved,… for who in their right mind would want to dig around that pile of dung looking for it.

  2. As far as shooting himself in that pile of shit, I'm sure it is not all that hard for any of you,... in figuring this out for yourselves.  To have an Art dealer such as his brother Theo, who supposedly never sold a thing, and now planning on cutting off his so-called support, of his artist brother Vincent, it was just too much for him to bear. Just have yourselves a peek at what was still in his brother's collection at that time, which Vincent had sent him, not for the measly support, but for him to sell as the art dealer that he was supposed to be. 

  3. The main reason for this act of shooting himself, was due to the works of art that Vincent found missing,.... when he went back to Paris for a weeks stay, and was only there for two days out of the planned seven day visit. Who know the reasons Theo had come up with, for the ones missing, other than Vincent himself, and while sitting through church service with his brother and his wife Johanna on that Sunday morning, he made a drawing in one of the hymnal books, thinking about everything, and about smoking his pipe, and after going outside to smoke,.... that is when he decided also to take a hike.

That's Life, and their little ups and downs.
 
Well,... my art loving friends,... what do we have here?  Japanese art for the soul?  Didn't Vincent himself like this style of art form? Really.  Well then,... let us just have another look at it,... in a different way,... more than likely, the way that Vincent himself would have looked at this work of art.

A rainy day in someones short life span.
That's life,... and sometimes death.
 
IMG_4583a1a.jpg
 
 
Martial arts,... or is it some other kind of art form, indicated in this work of art? Say like marriage, or a bad relationship of sort.  Hasn't this been the question for centuries,... from all mankind?  How do I get this monkey off my back,.. when they just won't leave on their own acord?  Well,.. I'd say the artist,... who ever he might happen to have been,... made one hell of a statement here,... in this work of art. 
 
  For all who view this work, they don't really see it,.. spewing out what was in the artist's thoughts at the time, controlled by his subconscious,.. and at times are able through their own eyes to actually see, as they the artist's sometimes sees in his works after the completion.   It also sometimes enter into the subconscious minds of  the viewers,... through their minds eye.  It is a little repulsive as some sees,... but others see it as quite fitting,... as to refer to their own situations,.. in life's little ups and downs,... resulting in,... sometimes,... big mishaps for their own irrational behaviors.
