Vincent

 


Despite working in your asylum studio in France,

I believe "Starry Night" shines with hope.



You also brought recognition to peasants

working tenaciously in the dreary fields.



Working with a self-imposed urgency,

you suffered under the duress of stress.



Your bold, dramatic brushstrokes

expressed motion and emotion.



"Sunflowers" is a warm harmony of yellows.

A robust vitality of color.



You've left a profound impression

on generations of admirers,



with the skilled manipulation of your brush;

painting with the lucidity of light.
