I love the pattern "Starry night" by Vincent van Gogh. It is a masterpiece that I can watch for hours. ❤ But what inspired the artist to paint a picture? What an inspiration, and perhaps the internal search of oneself. Or internal pain?
And here is what they write about the artist and Benedek Added in 1984:"the Artist came into this world with an identity that didn't belong to him entirely, because in the perception of his parents he replaced the deceased brother. It is obvious that his life was clouded by the fate of the first Vincent. We know that when one child Samedan another who died in infancy, certain problems arise.
Parents tend to impose on the unborn child surviving an idealized image of the firstborn. The concern of the parents who are afraid to lose a second child, a rise of a strong sense of their vulnerability, which is probably exacerbated by the fratricidal sense of guilt". the
the artist was the elder brother, too, Vincent, born 30 March 1852, but died the same day.&the Artist Vincent was born exactly a year later, on 30 March 1953.
what is it? Unconscious desire of the parents, and especially mothers, to make up for the loss "to revive the deceased baby"? They not only called the future of an artist by the name of the deceased, but also gave birth to him in the same day and month, only a year later.
Vincent, which we know is a foster child. He was born into a world of pain, grief, irreparable loss, he was born in a family that literally worshipped an idealized image of the deceased. He took a void that appeared as a consequence worseo first child. Vincent was given the name and place of the deceased, and took his place - the place of the living of the child and, thus, deprived him of his right to be himself.
to Be the substitute child - it means to have someone else's name. He has no right to be myself, because he must be a predecessor or someone he is forced to replace.
How could feel Vincent II? What he felt? A? Or dead? He considered himself "in the best case, the Deputy of the deceased brother, at worst he's a murderer" (V. Forrester) and felt my connection with him is so strong that doubted my own existence, especially in that he is an artist.
the Idealization of the parents of the child who died, overstates the level of perfect I living child. This idealization occurs in consequence of an unlived pity party. There is a rivalry between the dead and the living, and hence loss of identity, because the parents unconsciously make him the deceased. Van Gogh is living under the burden of intolerable idealization of the deceased and the constant comparisons with it. So Vincent all the time would have doubted me as an artist. It seemed to him that ideally can draw only its predecessor.
survivor guilt (as if he hadn't died first Vincent, then the second son could not be born) is the artist's depression. The constant fear to take the place in the world of the living - the fear of being survivors, fear to Express themselves, raise doubts about his work, his identity, his right to life and, as a consequence, madness.
Vincent wrote:"I am fighting with all his strength, trying to overcome any difficulties, because I know that work is the best lightning rod for disease. From such afflictions there is only one cure - hard work". the
Maurice Poro writes:"These words confirm that the replacement child, a candidate for the "madness," a loophole "genius", a talent which can be revealed only in the work". the
in order to survive, the foster child must symbolically/mentally to kill "dead" to remove the label of a dead child, which was awarded the parents. But not every man is capable of this without personal therapy, because this story will be hidden in the depths of the subconscious, and to heal need awareness, accommodation and scarring pushed out of the wound, only then people would be able to face their own reality and to break free from imposed. Vincent this was not possible, therefore, to secede from the deceased he had two choices: genius or madness.
And I think about how sometimes unconsciously, and sometimes traditionally, people call a newborn baby in honor of someone: whether the deceased child, whether favorite human, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, significant family person, honor someone, but not in honor of him. And then the question arises whose life the child will live with "stranger" name, whose symptoms he will bear?
cheers.
