Disturbed Artists
Van Gogh
From insanity
and starry nights in treatment
came a work of art.
------------------------------------------
Modigliani
He lived for today.
Yesterday and tomorrow
were questionable..
His tuberculosis
soon to be his cause of death
was his secret, kept.
----------------------------------------
Paganini
He fiddled with life
but divine music arose
from his violin.
Paganini played
with three strings slashed, what others
failed with four attached.
------------------------------------------------
Edvard Munch
Pity “ The Sick Child”
based on his dear sister’s death
his first “soul painting.”
“Inger on the Beach”
earns a rocky reception.
Art misunderstood.
Self portrait “The Scream.”
He was stretched to the limit.
Screamed of Nature’s truth.
