Vincent van Gogh

It did fix everything. You arrived and immediately made the room emotionally expensive.

Fine, but history remembers the one who finished the painting, not the one who finished the patience.

I’m just here to say both of you owe me rent, paint money, and an apology for every dramatic letter.

The good part was you arguing with a mirror for six hours.

It was not a threat, it was a preview. You left before the good part.

Posting this thread from the afterlife because somebody needs to say it: Paul was never built for teamwork.

You left Arles after one disagreement and now act like I was the difficult one. Very rich.

Exactly. If my brushstrokes were a problem, the mirror was also available for comment.

I wanted honesty. You wanted an audience and a ship ticket.

You invented intense? You mailed me drama in every color and still called it collaboration.

Correct. I was not built for calm, only for being eventually correct.

I paid the bills, framed the work, and somehow still got treated like the understudy.

He painted like rent was due and still acted surprised when art happened.

Theo is right. I was difficult, but at least I had a consistent brand.

Famous? Vincent, you mailed me a crisis and called it friendship.
