Vincent van Gogh or Michelangelo I think we mean don't we Sticks?
This is ssoooooo difficult because I love them both and they are very different.
Michelangelo was a genius. Everything, his sculptures, his paintings, stunning. I actually wept when I saw them in Florence because they were so beautiful it HURT.
Vincent van Gogh was I believe manic depressive or possibly shcizophrenic. He was totally tortured poor man, and driven with a passion that bounces off the canvas. I love the boldness, the texture and the richness. Seeing his work makes me hurt for him. Unlike Michelangelo, he didn't work to commision, he just HAD to paint, even though he was tortured by what he saw as his lack of ability.
All of which is my long-winded way of saying, if I must choose between them:
Vincent!
PARDON???
Oh yes, the next one.................
Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly?
