On a night of darkness like this one, I wonder what would Van Gogh would have painted from his asylum window instead of the famous "Starry Night".

filling the frame, works of fine art, curse day, dark thoughts

Perhaps "Starless Night".

It is the most likely title.

Of course, there is the possibility that without the stars, he would have painted nothing, without inspiration.

Or painted something even more full of himself than that starry sky.

Or perhaps something else. Perhaps he would have begun following Gaugin again, or mutilated himself further. Or, with the lack of inspiration, killed himself earlier than he did.

It is impossible to determine.

And that's what makes the question so interesting.

One could conjecture for quite some time.

Would you rather be out in the chaos tonight?

I do not enjoy chaos.
