I think that most people are not addicted to facebook. Some people work off facebook. I myself stay logged on to facebook for days at a time because i update my information on for my study group.

If he lived today, he probably wouldn’t have done anything like he did then because he would have been brought up in a very different world! Who knows? He may have become a graphics designer for some game company, or maybe just another poor fellow in the soup line! Maybe he would have been a hippie who spent his youth following Dead concerts, selling his “art” crap in the parking lots! One thing for sure, he would have had a lot more drugs to experiment with! With all the drugs we have today, he probably would have died with both ears still attached! On that thought considering the ear thing, he might have made a great EMO!

I’m afraid that too many young people don’t know the joy of writing or receiving a handwritten letter full of honest thoughts and emotions. All this electronic email, texting, and blogging has taken away personal communication. I feel sorry for young people.

I agree with the article’s theory because it seems he was just wanting to express his thoughts in some way, although he had deeper psychological issues. He would never have been a legend during his lifetime, just like with many legendary figures he was ignored until after his death. It doesn’t matter what era he was living in, it’s about him having revolutionised art of his time. It’s about the legacy he left behind.

His paintings were considered of bad taste and a disgrace. They would have been considered offensive and blocked out.

Maybe Van Gogh would have maintained a blog like http://www.vangoghsblog.com

i don’t think that his work will be this legendary if he’d live today.

Technology has changed the way to communicate. I’m not sure if Gogh would use things like facebook to tell his thoughts. Traditional communication is more serious for this like this. If you need attention from specific person, letter is always a good idea.
