This is one PowerPoint presentation you should not miss. It illustrates the rare beauty of the works of Vincent Van Gogh. You've heard the song "Starry, Starry Night" many times before but few listeners realize the song was specifically written by Don McClean as a tribute to the tragic life and wondrous talent of Vincent Van Gogh. It is rumored that Van Gogh's painting of 'Starry Night' was painted during his confinement in an asylum and that he sold only one painting during his lifetime as he was virtually unknown and nameless at that time. That's perhaps what caused him to fall into an abyss of depression which eventually led to his suicide. How tragic for him to have felt so hopeless and misunderstood in spite of being so gifted! It was a pity that medical science was not yet ready to help him. His paintings offer a depth of awareness around him, eyes through which not many others see, yet he was viewed as a mentally unstable person to be shunned. Yet, all he ever wanted was to show the world around him the remarkable depth with which he could interpret the ordinary, everyday life. So, sit back and be enthralled by the works [paintings] of Vincent Van Gogh along with the song "Starry, Starry Night." SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.
