终于去看了“至爱梵高”，所有流动的线条都是依据梵高的作画风格而成。一幅一幅，总共65000幅，125位艺术家精心绘制的另一部生动，立体的艺术长卷“至爱梵高”。

Finally, I watched the movie "Loving Vincent", all the lines of flowing are based on the style of Vincent's paintings. Pictures and pictures, total of 65000 pieces, and 125 artists createdanother elaborate , stereoscopic vision art " Loving Vincent."

而其中梵高的作品《加歇医生》，作为他本人目前拍卖价格最贵的作品，倍受人瞩目。对于梵高的深爱让我对这幅画研究颇深，这里分享一二。跟上次介绍梵高的《星空》一样，这幅画也有两个版本，几乎很相似的两个版本。第一个版本在1990年，也就是梵高自杀100年后，日本富商斋藤以8250万美金的价格，创下当时最贵拍卖艺术品的记录，这个记录保持了14年，直到2004年5月5号被毕加索的《拿烟斗的男孩》1.04亿美金所打破。

One of Vincent’s portrait "Doctor Gachet", was used to be the most expensive auction price of all his paints,and still is now, have been gotten much attention. The deep love of Vincent mademe studying the painting seriously and here I would like to share with fans ofVincent. Same as the last time ,the introduction of Vincent's "starrynight", this painting also has two versions, almost same versions. Thefirst version in 1990, also well known as a record at the time of the mostexpensive art auction record ,bought byJapanesebusinessman Saito for $82.500 million ,which exactly 100 years after Vincent shothimself. This record had been kept for 14 years until May 5, 2004, which wasbroken by Picasso's "Boy with a pipe" for $104 million.

我是个较真的人，所以查看了一下1990年到2005年美国通货膨胀率，如下图：

I am a serious person, so researched theU.S. inflation rate from 1990 to 2005, as below shown:

那么8250万美金到2005年的价值就要到1.30亿美金，远远超过1.04亿。所以在金融属性角度，梵高这个《加歇医生》的最贵拍卖艺术品名号在2004年并没有被打破。在2015年排出的10大最贵拍卖艺术品中，考虑通胀因素，相信梵高的《加歇医生》依然雄霸前三。

Then the value of US $82.500 million equaled to $130 million in 2005, far exceed 104 million. So in the perspectiveof financial attributes, as the most expensive art auction , the “Doctor Gachet“has not been broken in 2004. In 2015, the top 10 of the most expensive artauction, taking into effection of inflation, I believed that Vincent’s “DoctorGachet " has remained the top three.

当然今年11月份被阿拉伯王子拍下的《救世主》，以4.5亿美金的天价，甩了原来排名第一的1.79亿几条街。这幅真赝是迷的达芬奇遗作，有兴趣的同学可以自己在网上了解一下。

Of course, oneprince of Arabia boughtthe "Savior"by $450 million in in November this year., which far high than the originalranked first 1.79 million. Wheather this picture was drawn by Da Vinci or not ,itsvalue was wander.If anybody is interested in it, maybe research more online.

好，言归正传，让我们来看看这幅神奇的《加歇医生》第一版。

Well,come back.to our story! Let’s seethe first version of this magic “Doctor Gachet”.

大家能在这幅画里看到一些“星空”的影子，蓝色线条和黄色的碰撞，这是梵高特有的笔触和画法。没有受过专业培训的梵高，将内心的情绪，用他眼中特有的光影以流动的方式展现在画布上，生动鲜活，无人能够复制！

You can see thatthe color Painter used was similar as "The Starry Night" .A collisionsof blue and yellow, which is Vicent's unique strokes and paintings. Mr. Vincent,who has never been trained professionally, expressed his inner feelings intothe flowing light and flowing shadow on the canvas with his special sights,vivid and fresh, no one can copy it.

可为什么这幅画能够拍卖出这样的高价，它的价值倒底在哪里？那我们要从加歇医生和梵高的不同凡响的关系说起：

But why did this painting be able to sellin such a high price, what is its value? Then we have to tell about the specialrelationship between Vincent and Doctor Gachet

加歇医生是梵高自杀前的精神主治医生，也是在他生命最后三个月一直陪伴在左右的重要人物。他们的关系已经不是简单的医生和病患的关系。加歇也是一个艺术爱好者，他经常抚摸着梵高的画喃喃自语，也经常在梵高画画的时候兴奋非常地像个孩子，蹦蹦跳跳，评价指点。他发现了梵高的巨大天分，他心底是嫉妒的，嫉妒这个天才能在两个小时画出他两辈子都不能画出的作品。

Doctor Gachet was used to be the last spiritof doctor of Vincent before he shot himself, also an important person who has accompaniedVincent in his the last three months .Their relationship was no longer therelationship between a simple doctor and a patient. Gachet was crazy about artat that time, he often stroked Vincent's paintings and murmured something;And oftenexcited as a child when Vincent has been drawing, jumped and pointed. He had foundVincent's great talent. He was jealous in the deep of his heart. He was jealousthat this genius could draw a beautiful painting in two hours which he couldnot draw in his two life.

然而梵高对加歇医生的第一印象并不好，他在给弟弟提奥的信中抱怨说：“我觉得我们实在是找错了人，首先这位加歇医生脑子有病，比我还疯！这就像“瞎子给瞎子领路，不都会掉到沟里去吗”？“然而，两天以后，梵高在给他妹妹威廉敏娜的信里又说到：“我终于找到一位真正的朋友，就好像另外一个兄弟一样。我们在长相和灵魂上是如此地契合。”这样的矛盾情绪充斥在他生命的最后三个月里。让他对于加歇医生的理解已经超越了表面的东西，更深地理解到这个人内在。这也在他这幅《加歇医生》的画像里，注入了更多内心的感情和悸动。当然这种的情感，让这幅画有了灵魂，也把这幅画带到了无以复加的艺术高度。

Vincent van Gogh's first impression of Gachet was unfavorable. He wrote to Theo and remarked: "I think that we must not count on Dr. Gachet at all. First of  all, he is sicker than I am, I think, or shall we say just as much, so that's that. Now when one blind man leads another blind man, don't they both fall into the ditch?"However, in a letter dated two days later to their sister  Wilhelmina, he relayed, "I have found a true friend in Dr. Gachet, something like another brother, so much do we resemble each other physically and also mentally."Such ambivalence has been filled throung the last three months of hislife. Vincent has understand more of Doctor Gachet beyond the surface ofthings, a deeper understanding from the heart. This was also indicated in hispainting---“portrait of doctor Gachet”, injected more feelings and throb. Ofcourse, this kind of emotion, let the painting had the soul, also gave it morevalue which have been never be replaced.

这第一版本，有着典型的梵高肖像画的风格——浓厚的色彩、粗犷的轮廓、活跃的线条、强烈的感情。背景不再是小屋的普通墙壁，而是扩展到外面的蓝天与山丘，这种无限深远的背景给人豁然的希望。前方的桌子上有两本颜色鲜艳的书，这象征智慧；而在书前有一株被精心保护在水杯里的花，这花是一种药物，叫作毛地黄，这花既象征了生命力，也象征了画像中人的职业---医生。大衣上整齐的纽扣，显示着主人绅士般的品味。画中主角加歇医生托着头，软踏踏的帽子下红色的头发以及脸上闷闷不乐的样子，都表现出浪漫主义的情绪。这种情绪是文艺界的主流，自18世纪末开始一直弥漫整个欧洲。然而，加歇医生的脸上除了有浪漫主义的忧伤之外，也不太隐晦地写着抑郁和无助。

This first version has a typical style of Vincent's portrait - strong colors, rough outlines, active lines, and strong feelings. The background was no longer ordinary cabin walls, but extended to the blue sky and the hills outside,the limitless background gives peoplethe huge hope. There were two colorful books on the table in front of us, whichsymbolized wisdom. And in front of the book, there was a flower that wascarefully preserved in the water cup. This flower was a herb medicine called"digitalis", which symbolizes vitality as well as the occupation ofhuman in the portrait -- doctor. The neatly buttons on the coat showed thegentleman's taste. The Doctor Gachet hold his head,with the red hair and the sullenface under the soft hat, have shown a romantic mood. This sentiment was themainstream of the art world, which began to diffuse throughout Europe since theend of the eighteenth Century. However, Except his face of romantic sorrow, it wasdepressed and helpless.

当加歇医生看到这幅画像后，非常喜欢，要求梵高再给他画一幅，于是有了第二版的《加歇医生》。

Doctor Gachet loved the portrait verymuch when he saw it. He asked Vincent to draw one more for him. So that was thesecond version of the "Doctor Gachet".

也许这时的梵高已然发现了加歇病态的精神，既是个疯子，又是个善于嫉妒的伪君子，这些丑陋都被梵高捕捉到了这第二版的画布上，一览无遗。

Maybe Vincent had found the mad spirit ofGachet, which was a jealous hypocrite. Those ugly appearances were captured byVincent ,which shown on the canvas of the second version of the portrait.

这幅画的背景不再繁复，只是简单的小屋蓝色背景。单调没有什么层次。显示智慧的书籍不见了。原本精心养在水杯里的毛地黄无精打采地垂在桌子上。绅士的纽扣不见了。浑浊的眼球透着不正常的神经质。整个脸色和手都显出一种灰败的颜色，显得人更加无精打采，忧郁非常。好像整个面目都模糊地让人记忆不住。据说这幅彰显加歇丑陋本貌的画作，加歇本人一直挂在家中，直到去世。

The background of the painting was no longer complex, only the simple blue background of the hut. There was boring without any different level. The books that shown wisdom were missing. The digitalis,which had been carefully kept in the cup, now fell slouch on the table. The button of the gentleman was gone. The cloudy eyeball was permeable with abnormal nervous. The face and hands had a gray color,listless and melancholy. It seemed thatthe whole face was vague and incapable of remembering. It was said that this paintinghas been hung at Gachet’s home ,until he died.

如果说第一版中的加歇医生是梵高跟妹妹所说的那个灵活契合的朋友，那么第二版中的加歇医生显然就是梵高跟弟弟所说的那个比他还疯的疯子了。

If the first version of Doctor Gachet shown “resemble each other physically and also mentally”,which Vincent wrote to his sister.Then the second version of Gachet must be the mad which he wrote to his brother.

第二个版本的《加歇医生》被法国的奥赛博物馆收藏，也是同一个博物馆收藏了梵高“罗纳河上的星空”。

The second version of the " doctor Gachet " is collected by the Orsay Museum in Paris , which is same museum with a collection of Vincent’s "Starry Night Over The Rhone".

虽然第一个版本的《加歇医生》创造了拍卖奇迹，当时日本富商斋藤也豪言壮语，要将此画带到坟墓里。但是几年后日本爆发金融危机，在1996年，斋藤去世，此画被他的后人以亏本的价格拍卖给了拍卖行。倒底现在在谁的手里呢？传言很多，有人说它在纽约，有人说在法国或瑞士。众多的博物馆和拍卖所都曾经试图确定画的所在。我倒是听说今年有人曾经在纽约大都会博物馆看到过它的身影，是真是假呢？

Although the first version of the "Doctor Gachet " has created a auction miracle, and the Japanesebusinessman Saito, also has declare that he would bring it to his tomb. But afew years after, the financial crisis was happened in Japan.In 1996, Saitodied, the painting was sold again by his family in a loss price. Who's in thehands at the end now? There are many rumors, some people said it is in NewYork, and some people said it is in France or Switzerland. Many museums andauctions have tried to determine where the painting is. I have heard thatsomeone has seen it in the Metropolitan Museum of New York this year. Is THATtrue?
