Vincent Van Gogh 3 - Letters To Brother Theo Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Vincent Van Gogh 3 - Letters To Brother Theo
There was only one human being
In the whole world
That Vincent Van Gogh
Trusted implicitly,
Confided whole heartedly,
And poured out his emotions.
That was his brother Theo!
Vincent's profound feelings,
His thoughts of anguish and fear,
His joy of painting,
His utter poverty,
His love for nature,
The ecstasy of completing a painting,
Everything was communicated through letters.
Just as his days were spent in painting,
His nights were spent in writing long letters.
All to his brother Theo - his soul mate,
Letters of amazing revelations,
That ranged from optimism to pessimism,
A complex mind that battled between hope and despair,
A life veiled by pain and loneliness.
My mate and I visited the Van Gogh art museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and I was surprised to see art by quite a few other artists there. One of Vincent's was HUGE, maybe 20 by 30 feet?
Probably you've heard about his ear (left one?) . I think he cut his finger and toe nails also. ;) bri
Van Goh is indeed one of the greatest painters this world has ever produced. Yet, his personality is embedded with so much loneliness and pain. I had the opportunity to attend a showcase of his works featuring his 'bedroom paintings'. The play of colors in his paintings are also extraordinary.
Another wonderful series, Dr. Geeta. It is a great opportunity to know the life and paintings of an extraordinary man through your wonderful pen.
Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo were truly insightful as you've rightly said- A complex mind that battled between hope and despair.
Great tribute to a painter that touched your artistic nerve to write a fantastic poem for him. Full *****

Dear Geeta, your enormous and beautiful talent is so apparent in these bio-poems about great artist and men. They are more powerful and lasting than a prose biography because yopu so well, manage to communicate their human essence and presence. Thank you for these priceless and unique gifts.

'implicitly'...I assume THIS (one of 3 I found) definition is what you mean: 'without question or reservation; absolutely'.
