Starry Starry Night
A Tribute to Vincent van Gogh
(Source - Email)
He was only 37 when he died.... This is one PowerPoint presentation you should not miss as it shows us the beauty of the works of Vincent Van Gogh.
You have heard the song many times before but the presentation clearly chronicles that this song was written in memory of Vincent Van Gogh, as a tribute by Don McLean, in the seventies. It is rumored that Van Gogh's painting of 'Starry Night' was painted during his confinement in an asylum and that he sold only one painting during his lifetime as he was nameless at that time. That's perhaps what caused him to fall into an abyss of depression which eventually led to his suicide. How tragic for him to have felt so hopeless and misunderstood in spite of being so gifted! It was a pity that medical science was not yet ready to help him.
So, sit back and be enthralled by the works [paintings] of Vincent Van Gogh. To really enjoy the presentation, look closely at the paintings and listen to the music.
