Actor Kirk Douglas portrayed Vincent van Gogh
It is generally now though van Goh has brain "dysfunction,"
"epilepsy."
They used to put such people in asylums
How many "artists" --including those not chic with the in-crowd
asssholes-- have rotted away ?
It's a cliche, though it's not difficult for people with "normal"
functioning minds to undertand.
Nature seemingly does have its randomness, tragedy, and
"compensatory" or unusual or anomalous realities.
I took art history, made A memorizing the shitte, while I certainly
would not claim to have the taste of "great art,"or appreciating
genius,
Yes, it is acculturated subjectivity.
We all like things that few others do, thingt that everybody loves,
and some art that one cannot bring oneself
to love or loathe.
Don't foget the art conisseurs are also collector$.
They might dishonestly tell an artist his work stinks, and then get it
cheaply.
