False Narratives around Van Gogh

This is a rather good portrait that you are being told to believe the mother of the subject used to patch a chicken coop. A gift like this discarded? No, that doesn’t happen. Because people who receive gifts like this know something about the artist that the men crafting the narrative do not. And for christ’s sake what do you expect it would have looked like after being used that way?

I almost exclusively follow art bots like this on Twitter and I never use it anyway. I checked it today and saw this tweet. It just shows you even the accounts I DO follow are worthless propaganda.

I own all the letters. I’ve read most of them.
