At Eternity's Gate: What Hides within Vincent Van Gogh's Paintings?

Even if you find yourself being far apart from the world of art or do not recall the last time you stepped in the hallways of a gallery, you are most likely familiar with the name Vincent Van Gogh and perhaps even saw his world-known works. Yet, the paintings of a Dutch Post-Impressionist may make you question why so many people go insane when they see his art?

SUMMARY Perhaps, you may think that if his paintings are embellishing walls of museums all over the world, he was always treated with respect, knew his true calling and had an easy and successful path to get to the fame that he has gained. Maybe he chose Post-Impressionism as the way to stand out from the crowd which was what caused his growth, or maybe he was simply a rich man, trying to kill his boredom through oil and canvas? But what if none of those assumptions are true?

At Eternity's Gate

In 2018, Julian Schnabel directed his most personal motion picture called "At Eternity's Gate," a biographical drama, about Vincent Van Gogh and his deep connection with the world of art. The film was shot in areas in which Vincent Van Gogh spent the majority of his life and focuses on pain and agony that is hidden behind a canvas. Despite the fact that he was able to strike a new artistic style and build a foundation for a new path of painting, his fame did not come to him while he was alive. He was considered a madman, and a failure and only glimpse of judgment, poverty and complete isolation from his surroundings were his companions. Vincent Van Gogh suffered from psychosis and depression that are visible in his artworks. Behind the colorful shades of bright-yellow sunflowers or beautiful layout of stars in the night sky, he captured his existential dread and distress that often appeared in forms of manic episodes leading to hallucinations and auras. The movie shows how the only stream of light was his desire to create, as he knew that no one will enjoy his work, he did it solely for himself and found "peace" in running away from terrors and hiding in nature's landscapes that he was placing onto his canvas. "At Eternity's Gate" shows his entire life-long story and its devastatingly sad ending, which happens when Vincent chooses to take his own life in one of the fields where he enjoyed painting, concluding his difficult life and setting him free. Essentially, when you look at any of his masterpieces, you do not see a plain painting created in a particular style. You see a captivation of feelings, emotions and a "cry for help." You catch yourself wondering how a person with such a dull and tough life was able to catch beauty and happiness in simple phenomenons and places? He was never known for presenting an authentic setting, but his gift of storytelling through his own perspective. Knowing the story behind the mastermind and his work, you may change the way you look at what you see. Vincent Van Gogh's journey is a great example of what defines an artist, as while many chase fame and financial benefits, a true artist uses his medium as a diary which projects his beliefs, worldview and leaves a piece of themselves behind, once their time on Earth has come to the end. If only Vincent Van Gogh would know what an immaculate impact his vision would do to the modern world of art and how replicas of his works would appear in our everyday life, from art exhibits to t-shirt prints and fine art reproductions. And as he was able to conquer a new movement, all that is left for us is to keep admiring his work and remember at what cost it was made.
