If you look at Van Gogh's life's work he really was a genius. Whacky, but a genius.

Don't know about "genius" but there are some works by him I dig: The one with the bridge over the little river or something... yea, I like that one. Starry night or some stuff...Yea. Dig that one too. Why? Don't know. All I'm saying is that anyone who opines about how Van Gogh was saying some shit like, "See that emotion in that one petal he painted? See how he's breaking free from the current time of how painters' viewed the world," by a few strokes of brush that resemble flowers; well, whoever reads that far into an artwork is insane or a follower of insanity. Painting. Art. Music. Whatever.
And I'm not saying I wouldn't love an original piece by such a painter. Now that would be insane; thinking such a work worthless in my own head when regular society mints it as priceless.
