Van Goh and Xanthopesia





Yellow Photoshops while suffering from Xanthopesia


Can you even see the color yellow? You must have xanthopesia.
(Rolling my eyes, and falling on the floor, laughing. Now kicking. Now crying from belly- laughter)
The most preposterous explanation yet of van Gogh's usage of color. If you don't paint the subject by it's local color (it's color in actual reality), then you must suffer from some malady. No, you are crazy. Yes, that's it.

    Call me crazy, but he might just have been broke and wanted to use up a color he had. hahahah

    Your direct and practical theory is the least likely to be correct, of course.
    Always prefer the longest and most complex explanation...

    Interesting. I thought he was dirt poor and could only afford the one color.

    I found you via the Fine Line Artist's Van Gogh project, and appreciate your insight into Van Gogh's "genius."

    I'm attempting a vase with 15 sunflowers for the project. It's here: http://bachmanart.com/wordpress
    if you'd like to see it.
