Francisco Goya, Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch – romanticism, impressionism and expressionism, were outstanding painters whose most famous paintings are known all over the world. They owe their success to courageous breaking patterns in artistic terms. All three characters are connected by painting and madness. Van Gogh suffered from schizophrenia, panic attacks and obsessions. He was struggling with tobacco and alcohol abuse. Munch was affected by depression and neurotic disorders, mental illness also occurred in his family. Both were treated in psychiatric hospitals. Goya underwent a stroke and at the end of his life he was completely deaf. He isolated himself from the world within the walls of his estate. In addition, all three artists were constantly exposed to lead poisoning and paint fumes. Both mental and organic diseases left their mark on their work and should be an integral element in the interpretation of their works.

Francisco Goya, Vincent van Gogh i Edvard Munch (romantyzm, impresjonizm i ekspresjonizm) to wybitni malarze, których najsłynniejsze obrazy znane są na całym świecie. Sukces zawdzięczają odważnemu przełamywaniu schematów na gruncie artystycznym. Wszystkie trzy postacie łączy malarstwo oraz szaleństwo. Van Gogh cierpiał na schizofrenię, ataki paniki i manii prześladowczej. Zmagał się z nadużywaniem tytoniu i alkoholu. Munch był dotknięty przez depresję i zaburzenia nerwicowe, choroby psychiczne występowały również w jego rodzinie. Obaj leczyli się w szpitalach psychiatrycznych. Z kolei Goya przeszedł udar mózgu, a pod koniec życia, całkowicie głuchy, odizolował się od świata w murach swojej posiadłości. Ponadto wszyscy trzej byli stale narażeni na zatrucie ołowiem oraz oparami farb. Zarówno choroby psychiczne, jak i organiczne odcisnęły piętno na ich twórczości i powinny stanowić integralny element interpretacji ich dzieł.

One of the most famous parts of Heidegger's The Origin of the Work of Art is the passage in which he refers to the painting by van Gogh, which represents a pair of worn-out shoes. Considering the artist's oeuvre, the aforementioned painting did not seem to have a crucial significance, yet it elicited the most attention. The non-canonical and poetic interpretation by Heidegger has led to fierce criticism by art historian Meyer Schapiro. The discussion between the philosopher and art historian was understood as a collision of different methodologies. Schapiro accused Heidegger of a misinterpretation as he attributed the painted shoes to a peasant woman. In Schapiro's view, Heidegger's interpretation was a type of false projection that was not grounded in facts. Schapiro proposes the reading in which the painted object is intertwined (or interlaced) with the artist to the extent that it becomes a metonymic self-portrait. Schapiro's reattribution changes the painting's interpretation in the context of the origins of the represented object but also the class and gender of its owner. Also, by referring to a "relic," Schapiro seemed to open up the possibility of a theological interpretation; however, he did not elaborate on this matter. In his "polylogue" Derrida reflected on both interpretations, tracing their inconsistencies and accusing both authors of violence. The present article takes into account each of these texts to reflect on the ethics and limitations of interpretation, the origins of truth in painting, and the origin of the shoes depicted in van Gogh's artwork – as in this particular matter, all of those issues seem interlaced.
