Had the good luck to check out the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam back in the 80s when security was minimal and you could get close to the works. I learned Vincent not only painted on canvas but often painted out with a built-up three dimensional layer effect that's totally lost with two dimensional photography.

But I'm not down with the author's premise that he was somehow perceptive of near-invisible laws of physics when too many of his later works better show his style changed over time due to advancing glaucoma.

“How Did Van Gogh Do It?”

It’s a coincidence, and they “read into it”, that’s how.
