| It's beautiful, but all those people are such a distraction.
| How about drones flying around with paintball guns and ink

| everyone, so they look like part of the painting?

| I quite enjoyed it, would recommend.

| Only 37 years old when he died and having only sold one painting,
| van Gogh sadly did not live long enough to see the extent of his
| legacy - which includes his works now being some of the most
| expensive in the world.

| He never really mastered figure drawing or perspective. His work

| Compare Bob Dylan's singing voice.

| If you look at his drawings and sketches you can see he
| mastered realistic figure drawing and perspective pretty well.
| His weird perspectives and figures in the later paintings is
| clearly an artistic choice, not lack of basic drawing ability.

| Who ever claimed it was, and why reduce the appreciation of
| great art and artists to "fanboy-ism"?
