What's interesting is how Van Gogh purportedly never sold a painting, and fervently painted his whole life, in obscurity, doing remarkable work. Imagine for a moment what that might have been like, without the external markers to acknowledge his worth,and that of his work. Alternately, Chagall was widely known, and became increasingly interested in being seen as superior to Picasso and other well known artists, vying for more prestigious contracts. While creating also remarkable works, that he knew well were prized by others.
How interesting, what we choose to project or splatter, all over whatever is really happening in our lives. How we come to be at peace with what is, and let the inherent value of days or creations speak for themselves.
