Vincent Van Gogh's Scary Night

Starry Night is pretty scarey when you consider how little impact Van Gogh had on us. We love the pretty colours, that's about it.

That's an impressive impact for an artist who was a critical and commercial failure during his lifetime.

Wouldn't this look better in the dark?

@RyanS just because van Gogh had little impact upon you doesn't mean he had little impact on others. He is acknowledges as probably the most influential single artist of all time, and you don't get a much bigger impact than that. If you can't see beyond the pretty colours then I pity you, but don't tar us all with the same brush.

In answer to the question of what van Gogh would think, well I'm sure he'd be flattered. But since he was very much an originator I doubt he'd be impressed by the work. I'm sure he would rather that people were inspired by his work to create something truly original of their own.
