Frida Kahlo and Vincent Van Gogh were ahead of their time.
by Judy Joy Jones
Vincent Van Gogh appeared to the people around him; a complete looser. Yet if you read his letters to his brother Theo; Vincent predicted almost to the day exactly how long he would live as a painter. Knowing his calling and sparing his body nothing; he lived his life as a saint-giving every second of his short eight years as a painter to his calling!
Were we able to ‘see ahead’ very often the person who is ‘dead to the world’ during their lives; will one day in time, be a household name! Poet Emily Dickinson never left her home and yet is one of the most well-known poets upon this earth. Painter Frida Kahlo; married to muralist Diego Rivera sold only two paintings during her life. Now other planets will be named after Ms. Kahlo.
We are all destined to be stars at some moment in time; so enjoy the dance!
So true. It is really impossible to say, who among artisans, will have enduring influence. For those of us that are dedicated to our craft and not simply in it to market a product, but to go beyond what is normal, popular fare for the time being.
I have noticed that your work resembles van Gogh and therefore, should have followers of those who like that kind of colorful abstraction. I have purchased about four or five works that are similar to van Gogh but do not have his genius, yet. I do have an original work of a collage made from magazine cuttings of the head of a horse by a 20-year-old autistic genius already acclaimed for his work and willingness to overcome his aversion to people with the help of his strong-willed mother and promoter.
