Me no, Van
The names
flyin
From Van
to Leo
You catchin
the thread
And flyin
high
Nature’s spark
firin
You fall
on the
floor
To realize
the folly
Of Man’s
sand and
pennies
Now you
get up
You ride
on your
own
To your
own destiny
You find
the colour
And the
slate
On which
you gait
With the
wonder of
a boy

Van Gogh
A mad
artist
From a
humble start
Works on
a petty
job
In a
small boutique
Withdraws in
the night
To his
getaway
Hands in
paint
Moves around
like a
devil
Absorbs himself
& nature
Into the
canvas of
the walls
around
Days make
their way
Into long
years
No one
to ask
around
For love
or a
piece of
bread
Finally a
day comes
A thick
odour
Draws the
crowd around
Into the
museum of
Van Gogh

What are Paintings?
This is a simple view into paintings for any amateur, who is trying his hand at them, either for fun or work. Paintings provide a view to People, their culture, World, Universe through ages. It also extends man’s imagination to future.
Painters, like Philosophers etch out life and their experience on canvas. Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci are some of the artist which portray Europe during the reforms it went through in the 16th-18th century. Most of the greatest paintings of man have come during his struggle against life (Nature, Fellow human beings, Other living beings)
At a more simple level, each painting of an artist is a thought to life. A Artist typically paints about 100 paintings throughout his life and a country during its peak timings gives rise to a bunch of artist simultaneously. To find out about a country or continent during a century, it might be a good idea to look at the paintings of some of the greatest artist of that time.
P.S: Most of the greatest artist have come from Europe not to forget early Indian & Chinese civilizations which brought out different forms of art (Pottery, Construction: Homes)
