Poet Yoon Dong-ju liked Vincent van Gogh. Why did Yoon Dong-ju have books about Gogh, such as "The Life of Gogh" and "The Book of Gogh," and what did he think of in Gogh’s paintings and books? In this article, only three cases were compared. First, in the poor man’s feast, we compared Gogh’s paintings, Potato Eaters, and Yoon Dong-ju's simultaneous "Chimney" and "What do you eat and live?" We looked at the pity of the two for those around us who couldn't. Second, we compared Gogh’s painting "Sunflower" with Yoon Dong-ju's poem "Sunflower Face". I compared the two people who dream of hope while looking at the sunflower, which symbolizes a dried and disappearing existence. In Gogh's paintings, I thought about the brutal optimism in the literature of Seed and Yoon Dong-ju. In particular, it is noteworthy that Yoon Dong-ju depicts a female worker in the appearance of a sunflower. Third, we compared Gogh's painting “Self-Portrait” with Yoon Dong-ju's poem “Self-Portrait”. We looked at the process of growth in finding one's personality in the self full of wounds and trauma. In Gogh's heart, who hoped to live as a useful being to others, Yoon Dong-ju's pledge to “love everything that is dying” overlaps. The comparative study of Gogh and Yoon Dong-ju allows them to reflect on their attitudes toward life through simple literary research.
