why do people think Van Gogh would appreciate being talked about

Based on what ground do you make these claims

because his art wasn't appreciated at the time

He received only one review in a newspaper during his lifetime, and he was pleased enough to write a letter of thanks to the critic

More than anything, Van Gogh wanted human connection, but he was utterly socially inept. If he knew how much he is admired today, he would almost definitely cry

Also he wasn't easily embarrassed, the guy wanted to marry a prostitute, all his family knew and it would have been disastrous for them socially but he didn't give a fuck

Something similar could be said about Kafka

I don't know and I don't care, dude was literally a psychotic cuckoo clock mentally ill fuck.

It's Doctor Fucking Who, of course it's stupid feel good crap.

Neo Doctor Who is generally garbage, but this episode in particular is brill.

>>1666870
Yeah, I'm kinda embarassed about seeing his shitty paintings in a museum too.

Still the best artists are always the ones that are admired after their deaths. No exceptions.
