How to See like Vincent Van Gogh - Yazata - Nov 17, 2018

Go to this twitter post. Stare at the white dot in the center of the top half while you slowly count to ten (are the spirals going in or out?), then stare at the Van Gogh painting.

So Van Gogh had a perpetual source of psilocybin in his diet?

Maybe absinthe. I always thought he had epilepsy but this author seems to think that he was bipolar. Who knows?

The illness of Vincent van Gogh

I have the "Woman Grinding Coffee" print. It’s signed Atelier Vincent. Why Atelier? All I could come up with was that it means art studio. Maybe that’s where he painted it. I don’t know.
