Lost Painting by Vincent van Gogh-The Road to Tarascon


The painting on the Road to Tarascon is a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh traveling with its artwork in 1888. It was seen as a lost masterpiece and a rare glimpse into van Gogh’s life as an individualist and a traveling painter. To him real painters don’t paint things how they are but they do paint them as they feel they are. Francis Bacon thought it was a haunting painting of van Gogh as an outsider to the world. 

Even though the artist is alone, hot, and following a path between Arles and Tarascon he will be meeting his friend Paul Gauguin in less than a month. Within a year of this time he had a seizure and within two years sold his first piece of artwork. With all of his life’s happenings his dark shadow indicates his only true friend is himself. 

The Nazi’s removed and destroyed the art as a degenerate for their culture. It was believed, at that time in history, that anyone not part of the overall Germanic bloodlines created art that was insulting to religion, Germans, and the world. Other artists were told not to paint if their art was not of sufficient Germanic qualities and regular inspections of their homes were common.  Anything that did not conform was removed. 

Vincent was a child who drew pictures and began painting in his late twenties. Over 2,100 paintings were produced and only six were ruined or destroyed.  Much of his time was spent as an art trader and he desired to someday be a pastor. As he matured his works became stronger and brighter. It is believed that his distinct style contributed to his overall success as a painter.  It was his type of signature.

Topic: Technology and Innovation in Managing Information and Data in the Global Context
Journal: Information resource management journal (IRMJ)
Submission Deadline: February 15, 2014

Overview:

The analysis of large data sets—so called big data—in a competitive global environment is becoming a key basis of underpinning new waves of productivity growth and innovation. Data now have reached every sector in the global industries. Organization and business leaders across all industries are looking for opportunities to minimize costs, increase efficiencies and gain competitive advantage in managing information and data. They are also focusing on IT as a way to accomplish these goals. The increasing volume and detail of information and data captured by enterprises will synergize exponential growth in data for the foreseeable future. Responding to this emerging issue, many companies are introducing new technologies designed to help businesses and governments tackle big data by making it simpler and more economical to analyze massive amounts of data. For this, organizations are required not only to attract the right talent and technology but also structure incentives in order to optimize the management of data. We can clearly see that the possibilities of big data continue to evolve, driven by the recent advancement in the underlying technologies, platforms, and capabilities of handling data. The question that arise is how to best get the value
