Vincent Van Gogh Monologue

713 Words3 Pages

Hey, Mr. van Gogh, how’s your day going? Goodmorning, my day’s been just fine! I took a walk, it’s been a great day!
Alrighty then, may I ask you a few questions? You sure can!
Ok, so, when and where were you born? My parents, Anna Carbentus van Gogh and Theodorus van Gogh, introduced Vincent Willem van Gogh Wednesday March 30th, 1853 in the Netherlands. But, I wasn’t the first Vincent Van Gogh; I came from a LONG line of Vincents!
Ooh! What was your childhood like?
Well, my mother never understood me; my eccentricities. As time went on, she started liking me less and less, by the time I was an adult, she had given up all hope for me. She’d always accuse me of intentionally conflicting “pain and misery” on her. She would jettison my paintings, …show more content…

I also painted a picture called, “Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear”! Anyways, the people of Arles, started a petition saying I was dangerous. So, I committed myself to an asylum, where I began painting in the hospital gardens.
Oh...Glad you learned how to paint! Did you have any struggles? Oh, yes, plenty. I was born with a brain lesion, which caused doctors to think that this was caused temporal lobe epilepsy…
Well, let’s get on to the next question, shall we? When and how did you die..? Ooh, let’s see, it wasn’t that...no, that was last week...OH, it was July 29th, 1890. I died from a gunshot wound at an inn. My last words were, “La tristesse durera toujours” (LA TRIST-UH DO-HUH TOOJORS), I revealed on my deathbed that I had shot myself in a field. When my mother died, they could only find few paintings and letters I had written to her. I died at the young age of 37. Many thought I had tried to drink yellow paint, but really I only talked about it.
OH, well, um, ok. SO, did you have a spouse/partner? Kids? I lived with a woman named Sien Hoornik, she already had a four-year-old daughter, named Maria. So, no, I didn’t have my OWN kids.
Nice! Ok, next question, did any other artists inspire
