Hailed as one of the greatest artists who ever lived, Vincent van Gogh is the very definition of the tortured genius. After failing to capture the public's affection in his lifetime, his stunning and pure works of art are now treasures of the world. His unrivaled passion for genuine and original artistic expression is an inspiration to every artist that came after him. Pablo Picasso famously carried a clipping of Van Gogh's death in his wallet and kept it close to him until the day he died. In his short and turbulent life, Van Gogh gave birth to modern art and blessed the planet with some of the greatest pieces of art, soul, and humanity the world has ever known.
