Kazunori Asada used visual filters to see how the paintings looked to the colorblind. The experiment produced some interesting results and musings:
Was van Gogh partially color vision deficiency (anomalous trichromat)? Perhaps using a strong color vision deficiency (dichromat) simulation was the wrong approach. How about carrying out the simulation by removing the middle portion of normal color vision, maybe then I could see van Gogh's pictures in a better light?
The color choices for van Gogh's popular paintings seem less out there with the filters. The greens in the sky of Starry Night, for example turn to yellows.
I borrowed a book of van Gogh's letters from a local library, and what can I say, I'm not only totally fascinated by him, but feel so bad when reading the last letter he wrote his brother before his death. His artwork and writing both are greatest treasure an artist can't live without!

This is not appropriate for this group. Its almost as bad as posting a link to Starry Night by Van Gogh and asking if any one has seen this. This is on Cartoon Network. Yeah I know about it. What does it have to do with this group. I like animea but not here.
