Odd Man Out

During his low on, tumultuous career as an artist, Vincent van Gogh painted vivid studies of the sun-drenched view of the south of France, portraits of the redoubtable people who lived there and ethereal depictions of starry nights.

If one had to pick one delegate work for van Gogh’s life, however, it would not be any of these renowned and beloved paintings. As a substitute for, it would be his version of “The Sower.” This was an image borrowed from an earlier painter, Jean-François Millet. Striding across a plowed province, the Sower casts handfuls of seed in what is really an allusion to the spread and nurturing of sacred ideals. This was Vincent van Gogh’s image of himself – or rather of what he wanted to be.

In their new biography of van Gogh, Steven Naifeh and Gregory Silver Smith demonstrate that his obsession with religion and determination to build a dogma community were the motivating forces of his life. Even after he no longer accepted the exacting Christian theology which his parson father had preached, Van Gogh remained inspired by intense convictions aimed at building a better world – through common justice, the power of art, harmony among human beings.
