The painting of the day is the painting «couple of shoes» one of the most famous work of the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, the story of "shoe" did not stop at the end of the artistic creativity of an artist saw a pair of shoes in a popular market in Paris decided to draw them, but to put up a philosophical and social debate about the significance Painting and beyond.

The story says that Van Gogh turned a pair of worn wooden shoes in a market in Paris and decided to buy them and took them with him to his private studio in the district of "Monmater."

Of course, Gogh did not need a pair of worn shoes to adorn them. They had bought them for another purpose: to paint them. He did not realize then that the dark shoes would remain a witness to history and would open up a record that had resonated with modern philosophy and the history of ideas.

In an attempt to become an avant-garde of art, Van Gogh decided to draw a shabby shoe, and he was filled with sarcastic comments from his colleagues, so how to shabby shoes that fit the painting to decorate the walls of the dining room!

Van Gogh's shoes have become one of the most famous shoes in the history of modern art. It is not just shoes, it has been a great space for a slew of meanings, symbols and interpretations.

The German philosopher Martin Heidegger examines Van Gogh's painting and study. This work will not pass the eye of the philosopher critic. When Heidegger took a painting at an Amsterdam exhibition in 1936, he did not hesitate to write "The Origin of the Artwork," which had many works for Jacques Derrida and Ian Shaw and Meyer Shapiro who took the painting with criticism and study.

Many interpretations about the meaning of the shoe plate where returned some of them belongs to Heidegger's peasant woman, is dysfunctional in reference to their poverty, while American historian Meyer Shapiro said it is impossible to understand the meaning and significance of the painting, noting that the closest that shoe belongs to Van Gogh himself and wanted to refer to his person and alive. ATH the boot because of frequent use had worn out and injured wear.

Heidegger saw that the shoe reveals what is behind the undeclared concealer and thus plays the role of the artwork, which is to reveal the true essence of things.

Van Gogh painted another painting, but this time it contained "three pairs of shoes" that Van Gogh seems to like.

Jacques Derrida believed that Van Gogh's shoes contain ghosts we in front of this work of art according to Derrida not only remember the ghosts that inhabit the shoes after the departure of the foot.

Van Gogh, who walked barefoot for the rest of his life, has a secret that seems to symbolize the idea of ​​life as a journey that ends in exhaustion and vanishing. The ghost of Van Gogh remains strong and his shoes will remain in the space of the walls, creating more spaces and battles. Self and identity.
