Citat:
”People like to say: ”Oh, what if we had antidepressants back in van Gogh’s day? We wouldn’t have Starry Night.” And it’s like, yeah and a fellow human wouldn’t have cut his ear off. We don’t … not treat pathologies of the brain or the body in order to ensure that someone creates art that we believe is coming from their pain.”
…also Van Gogh was literally in an asylum receiving mental health treatment when he painted ‘Starry Night’.
