I do like how "boredom" in this image is represented by lynching, the police state, sword-wielding hordes, and nuclear war. Ho hum!

my only guess is that shirtless van brogh is tired of rainbow world and is painting scenes of endless war and suffering on the side of his van

Getting a real Jack T. Chick vibe from the whole thing...not his exact style, but there's a certain woolly overstuffed-ness that rings a bell.

Rabbit ears are bombs, I guess.
And that's a Goya scene beyond the jail window, is Van Gogh dissing Goya?

Doesn't he realize he's cutting the rope in the wrong place to effectively collapse the bridge?

Also, that they prob have guns and can shoot him without ever setting foot on that bridge?

why would the police have guns?
― wakaflockinihilipilification (seandalai), Friday, 26 July 2013 02:56 (ten years ago) link
Perhaps they have invested in helicopters also. Or have recruited pole vaulters into the police force. Or they hired Evel Knieval to jump the chasm. Or they might bring bulldozers to push mountains of refuse into that chasm, bridging it.

Wait, is this saying that art and culture ultimately depend on a state monopoly of violence, a Leviathan argument?
In general tho, fuck murderous cops, racism, war, prisons and greed and yay parrots, butterflies and painting cool stuff.

I was thinking it was the best Choose Your Own Adventure cover ever.
If you decide to die of passion,turn to page 88.
If you think you'd rather die of boredom,turn to page 124.

I mean the fact it's not a vg painting speaks volumes, this is purely about attitudes one takes on/puts on one's status feed and the name the quote is attributed to doesn't mean a row of buttons

you all sure are quick to the punch that this isn't a van gogh picture.

it's too bad van gogh didn't decide he would rather live.
― Treeship, Friday, 26 July 2013 14:49 (ten years ago) link
that sounds trite, but i really mean it. his development as an artist was insanely rapid - didn't start painting till his 30s iirc - and he would have gone on to do interesting things in the 20th century, i'm sure

Apparently Van Gogh quoting Emile Zola, from a character in a novel who overheard someone say it in the street.

[Mourier says: “If you think yourself strong because you refuse to be stupid and to suffer, well, then you are just a fool, that's all.”
“Are you enjoying yourself?”
Mouret did not seem to understand immediately, but when he remembered their earlier conversation about the empty stupidity and the pointless torture of life, he replied, “Of course - I have never lived so intensely... Ah! old fellow, don't scoff! The hours when one dies of suffering are shortest.”
“I want her, I will have her... and - if she escapes me then you'll see what I do to be cured of it all. You don't understand this language, old fellow; other-wise you would know that action is its own reward - to act, to create. To fight against the facts, to conquer them or be conquered by them, therein lies all human health and happiness!”
“That's just acting in order to forget” - muttered the other, “Well, I prefer such action - if perish we must - I would sooner perish of passion than die of boredom.” (Emile Zola, Au bonheur des dames)]
"It's too bad I won't live! But then again, who does?" -Van Gogh

i kind of like that image macro btw. the paintbrush is heading straight toward the barrel of the gun held by the skullfaced man with an atom cloud coming out of his eye socket. i think it's a metaphor.
