While rearranging prints last night in the gallery I accidentally put Syd Barrett and Vincent van Gogh in the same sleeve. Individually each artist is well beyond talented, extremely intelligent and certifiably nuts. Get them together and not only will discussions reach unseen heights, but the atmosphere will go from marginally insane to batshit.
I hadn’t realized my error until I turned off the music in the shop to close for the night and heard mutterings from the bin on the west wall. As I inched closer I overheard van Gogh,”…used to talk to a god, but I don’t remember its name or what it was in charge of. And now I’ve heard that they’ve made a telescope that enables mankind to see this god’s teeth, and it turns out they haven’t been brushed since Rembrandt was a baby. That’s probably how doubt was created. Who can place their full belief in a being that doesn’t practice proper dental hygiene? I used to know a fellow named Gene, and I always had to stifle a laugh when I greeted him on the street. What was his last name?…”
Normally reserved and not prone to fits of speech, Syd took advantage of a rare thought-induced pause in Vincent’s monologue to interject, “I have more gods than I need. I’d be happy to make you a loan of one, if you like. I keep them in small compartments for handy access.”
”Do you have a god to recapture innocence and absorb pain? If not, licking your paint brush can imitate the desired effect.”
Just for grins I slipped a copy of “The Persistence of Memory” into the bin as I left, and other than Dalí’s giggling things got really quiet.
As I locked the gate to the shop I heard a slurping sound, then van Gogh asking Syd, “How would you depict ecstasy; with daggers, or irises?”
The most intriguing point is that what I believe to be a spam comment is really quite astute in your case!

Definitely spam. Not sure how astute, but thanks anyway.

Thanks for running this Van Gogh painting, it reminded me again of the beauty this man left us. You knew the correct answer Vince...with irises!
Gogh, man, Gogh!
