Don McLean and some rapper mentioned in the same sentence? Don McLean is an artist, I will grant you that.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I just think it looks perdy.

[ComputerGuy]

Just a wee bit over-the-top. I mean legendary artists like the iconic Tupac Shakur...

[telescope115]

I don’t know- I’m skeptical.

Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ has inspired poetry, theatre, books, and even legendary artists like the iconic Tupac Shakur and Don Mclean.

I prefer Joni Mitchell's comments about it on her Miles of Aisles album.

Where’s that Sure, Jan gif...

Btw, what are the big swirls in the center supposed to be? Atmospheric turbulence? I don’t see any stars in them? Wind?

Be funny to hear what Gauguin would say about this article.

[hinckley buzzard]

“innate understanding of natural atmospheric motion.”. Well, I’ve never heard that one before, but this is a euro guy after all, they will believe anything.

“Spinning Away” (Brian Eno/John Cale) is a splendid song about this painting - it really captures the artist’s mind-set while painting.

[Ge0ffrey]

When you look at Van Gogh’s paintings in person, you realize he’s highly overrated.

[bunkerhill7]

You can see these whirls/whorls forming after you wash the dishes and stare at the water settling before you drain it.
Micro-macro....that`s probably where he saw it after Hortense washed the dishes.

Images of the South Pole of Jupiter resemble this painting

[Organic Panic]

I was at an art gallery in Lahaina Maui and Anthony Hopkins was giving a reception for his paintings. Of course the snooty snobs had to ask all kinds of snooty questions. The best line of the night he said, “I just like painting. Why does there have to be a message behind everything?”

[MayflowerMadam]

I don’t care for any Van Goghs I’ve seen, except this one. (I’m sure I haven’t seen them all though.)
