A critique on the unfairness of undiscovered talent.
The raw, emotional painting in the background contrasts with the artificial frame that blocks the view.
The frame, symmetrically offset from all sides, with its rounded borders almost mimics a modern web browser element; A popup that block underlying content, hinting at the recognizable feeling of frustration, which is commonplace on the contemporary internet.
The entirely black background of the frame underlines the protestive nature of the message.
The message itself, clean and simple: Vincent died poor.
And while you can see parts of the painting, parts of its beauty, through the cold, hard message, the presentation won't let you forget its dictum. The man who painted this billion dollar painting, died a poor man.
