Art in Movies

A colleague recently shared a movie trailer with me about the artist Van Gogh. This film is unique in the sense that it used the paintings by Van Gogh to tell the story of his death which was kind of a mystery. Unfortunately, Vincent Van Gogh was a tortured soul.

Some questions come to mind:

Art and suffering: Are they related? Must an artist suffer to create beauty? How can paintings transmit ideas? How can an artist express pain or happiness through his work? Can an observer feel that pain or joy?  Can anyone be an artist?

I love the concept of Van Goghs paintings used as a medium to tell his story.

If you were to write an essay on this topic, what would your thesis statement be? ~~LMMolina
