Are Picasso and Van Gogh of the same nationality?

Van Gogh and Picasso are great painters in the world, pioneers of world painting and the biggest winners. Their paintings are now worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the collection market, but their life experiences are completely different.

Van Gogh was born in 1853, Dutch; Picasso was born in 188 1. The Spaniard and two talented painters lived in the same era and had similar regional cultures. However, although Van Gogh left more than 7,000 works, he only sold one and shot himself in France at the age of 37. Picasso, on the other hand, with his talent and fame and fortune, embarked on a brilliant life and lived happily until 9 1 year old.

Van Gogh and Picasso

Why are they so different?

Let's start with Van Gogh. Van Gogh was born into a family of Christian priests. Because of family education, his mother insisted that he must grow up with upper-class children, so she kept him at home until he went to school at the age of 1 1. 1 1 Van Gogh, who entered the society at the age of, was extremely unsuitable for such a life. Moreover, he has a naturally beautiful red hair, but his classmates regard him as a different kind and laugh at him as "red hair" This left a huge shadow on Van Gogh's mind. He gradually developed a character of being afraid of the world, hating the world and wanting to be alone, and thus suffered from insanity. Dull and melancholy personality, always painting with his head closed, bored with basic social activities.

The reason for his personality is that his talent is little known and he doesn't even have a few friends. He has been down and out all his life and wants to make a living by selling paintings. Only one of his more than 7,000 works sold for 400 francs. After his death, his paintings became a blockbuster. Do you know what is the most painful thing in the world? Only after death will money and fame follow. I really sympathize with Van Gogh.

Picasso was born in the middle class and his father was a painter. Picasso showed amazing artistic talent since he was a child. In such a good environment, genius is hard to be buried, and Picasso's family is also a family proficient in interpersonal communication.

In fact, Picasso's surname is very long. He may not even remember his own name completely. Is this not a joke? In fact, due to some family rules, in addition to the words that must be used at home according to seniority, the surnames of some good friends or family members and friends will be added, so the names will be very long. In order to consolidate the communication relationship between families, the Picasso family also worked very hard.

Secondly, Picasso is proficient in marketing. The way he sells paintings is: he will hold an exhibition before the auction of his works, and he will tell visitors about his creative process and tell some short stories. This is the same as those players who chase their dreams in the current talent show (of course, this is not to ridicule the master, but the routine of the current talent show is really unpredictable).

In his later years, Picasso was so red that he didn't even want money. Sometimes when he goes shopping, many bosses don't want his money, but let him leave a small note with his notes. The boss will read it carefully, cherish it and be proud of it. This is probably the peak of life pursued by artists.

Picasso is a woman in a hat.

There is a sharp contrast between these two talented painters. Van Gogh died poor, while Picasso died rich. Van Gogh was poor because he could not share the value with others in his lifetime, while Picasso realized the brand premium before his death. Maybe that's why those stars are trying their best to become famous now. Fame is very important, but don't forget that talent is the foundation, or the same sentence: gold always shines, and those who are famous by hype without real talent and learning are just talking. We don't know if there are any shortcomings in it.
