Beck didn’t like Van Gogh?
I was scratching my head over that one too. I have a hard time figuring out what anyone could find offensive in his work. I know he lived with a prostitute for some years (she was pregnant when he met her and he later took her & her daughter into his home), so maybe his depictions of her was what Beck didn’t like. As with Van Gogh, her story was a very sad one that ended in suicide.
I wouldn’t expect a sanctimonious prick like Beck to have any empathy for someone like that, no, he would just be morally offended.
