Hmmm - delicate divisions to be made here - which I'm not sure I'm capable of at present! When I've looked at Van Gogh pictures in the flesh, as it were, the first thing that has struck me is those energies, which are inhuman - the colours of a wheatfield or almond blossom, that night sky. It's even there in the textures of skin. But you're right about the vulnerability and humanness, which perhaps exists in the perception and expression of these things.
