life resides it seems to the women...
 |
| work still in progress... |
that inspire artists.....
Courbet, Manet, Van Gogh
to name a few have their own
stories to tell.
Courbet painted the
"origin of the world",
Manet had "Olympia"
Van Gogh...!?
well, he sort of fell in love with a woman
who for all we care got him to paint
splendid artworks hanging in museums.
We have inklings from passed on knowledge
to understand fragments of their lives
related to women, romantic or otherwise.
Cutting an ear off on account of a woman
is a bit off tangent but one can get
"crazy" as the saying goes...
even the great Samson didn't survive
the feminine mystique...yes?
so why would anyone expect otherwise
from a non herculean mortal like Van Gogh?
But opposite attracts. Liability to fall for the wrong
person is termed by romanticists
as "magic". regardless
if she were lady of the night.
And here Van Gogh was a slave of
his feelings. Perhaps , the lyrics of
"I'm a Fool to Want You",
(Frank Sinatra) and "Prisoner of Love"
(Perry Como) could aptly describe
the intense emotional entanglement
Van Gogh went through.
He's simply made of straw.
He has a natural weakness and was
predisposed to "err " perhaps because of his sordid
conditions ...of loneliness or
on the other hand, he may have seen
a silver lining from her dark side...
she's not exactly bad news but capable
of giving warm love and tenderness...
and to Van Gogh , this was enough.
In the days of Solomon and the
Pharaoh's men surrounding queens
were caponized to mitigate the untoward
likeliness of the irresistible and captivating
pull of their charms.

p.s.
Lucky for you and I we're out of that era
but don't be so sure...
there are naughty women out there
vulnerable enough to cling to this ancient
idea.
advise.... don't sleep soundly...
if you know what i mean ...zzzzz !!!!
