Vincent, yours is a world known to me And I grasp at this meaning of Be
Light and fields, people and purpose defined
And I in plea proclaim do not confine
Bar restraint and perception veiled
Vincent your gift of knowing has prevailed
With awe and sighs anew your art so perceived
And blessed for the inexplicable conceived.

Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1890.
Vincent Van Gogh perceived the vibrating energy of light and life itself. He captured the quivering, pulsing fields that embraced his vision. All was moving, all was dimension, all was effect. I experienced the deepest of pleasure in being present with Van Gogh's original works on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.

Rose Marie!! Isn't this amazing - exciting - almost unbelievable?!! For those who don't know, Rose Marie and I were both posting links to see each other's blogs at the same time.
Thank you for giving me permission (I think you did!?) for adding the above poem that you left in my comment section to my post. Now I see you have posted it here and it is getting the feature and acclaim that it should. Lovely - and to my mind especially beautiful with the actual genius of VanGogh's artwork to enhance it.
Bonnie, Yes, permission more than granted - celebrated! Again, so delighted by our exchange - its spontaneity and its synchronicity! Thank you again, for the post that inspired the responses. More SMILES...
The two rebels at work. One with words, the other with paint.
Starry Night is one of my favorite songs...absolutely love it. When I think of such a beautiful painter who was haunted by restriction and lonliness greatly bothers me.
Beautiful picture my friend....:-) hugs
Intensity was Vincent's middle name and he showed us sheer passion can transcend many a barrier. A moving tribute in verse.
Thank you

The pulsing, vibratory Presence in Van Gogh's work is becoming more and more appreciated, understood, and obviously greatly valued.
So pleased to share this tribute so deeply felt.
Best always,
Rose Marie
