About this deal

Posthu­mous psy­chi­atric diag­noses sur­round Vin­cent like a cloud—or per­haps even a cloak of pro­tec­tion. In his own time, he was diag­nosed with epilep­sy, schiz­o­phre­nia and sub­stance abuse, topped with a hunch of bor­der­line per­son­al­i­ty and bipo­lar dis­or­der assigned long after his life had elapsed. Mania might have encour­aged his urge to paint, but sad­ness and fear found their redemp­tion in his warm colour stud­ies. “[I]nstead of giv­ing in to despair I chose active melan­choly,” Vin­cent wrote. 1 Van Gogh’s death remains curi­ous. Con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries twine around it like the diag­noses around Vincent’s heart. It is intu­itive to assume that Vin­cent had shot him­self, a lone­ly end to a lone­ly life, a final, des­per­ate tri­umph over one’s own demons. The self-ful­fill­ing prophe­cy that the arche­type of the artist always seems to car­ry with him. This seems to be the answer he want­ed the world to know, the con­fes­sion he gave to the police, to Gus­tave and to Theo. But peo­ple argue that a num­ber of details of van Gogh’s death do not add up to sui­cide, such as the angle from which he was shot. 12,13 The sadness will last forever” Theo van Gogh. Letter to Elisabeth van Gogh. Written 5 August 1890 in Paris. Translated and edited by Robert Harrison.
