The Potato Eaters: Vincent Van Gogh" a must read article for artists"
C. Bertelsen sets forth a fascinating theory, that Vincent Van Gogh's visions were the result of being a 'starving artist'. This theory runs counter to such ideas that the artistic community at Arles, in the South of France, indulged in over abuse of Absinthe, and even drugs.
This is an intriquing website and the article is a great read for any serious student of art.
