Jeanne Calment, who died at the age of 122 (up for dispute), claimed to have known Van Gogh, having sold him art supplies in their village. I think she actually appears in a film or movie at some point, talking about him. Can you imagine talking to someone who actually knew Van Gogh? He seems like an unreal icon today... he is my favorite artist, and and influenced my own life as an artist tremendously. I suffered from depression when young, and feel so much for anyone who walks that path. Learning to have compassion for ourselves, as well as others, and finding expression that relieves the pain of life, helps more than anything to navigate the lonely roads everyone must travel...that's why I love history so much, I realize I am not alone, that all human beings are in some way, scarred, and those scars are reminders of toughness that remains after the wound heals, we are stronger because of them, not just in spite of them. Just my opinion only, everyone has different ideas...
