A close study of specific patterning in Van Gogh's drawings (revelatory because of their absence of his celebratory color) provides new insight into pattern as a direct expression of nonverbal meaning. A study of his articulation of pattern through form, plus a close reading of his writings about difficulties he encountered because of his unique vision, show how Van Gogh's creativity reflects a need to express the inexpressible that derives from an idiosyncratic way of perceiving self and the world. We apply critical theories of modern art as a manifestation of unconsciously expressed meaning and explications of differences between the experience of color versus form, and indices of how nonverbal meanings are noted and anchored. We conclude that Van Gogh's unique and personal perceptual style both served his developmental needs and exacerbated his distress, contributing both to his mental instability and his artistic greatness.
对梵高画作中特定图案的深入研究（因其缺少他标志性的色彩而具有启发性）为图案作为非语言意义的直接表达提供了新的见解。对他通过形式构建图案的研究，再加上仔细研读他关于因其独特视角而遇到的困难的文字，揭示了梵高的创造力如何反映出一种表达无法言表之物的需求，这种需求源于他独特的自我认知和世界观。我们运用现代艺术的批判理论，将其视为无意识表达意义的一种体现，并阐释色彩与形式体验之间的差异，以及非语言意义被注意和固定的方式。我们得出结论，梵高独特的个人感知风格既满足了他的发展需求，又加剧了他的痛苦，这既导致了他的精神不稳定，也造就了他的艺术伟大。
