Today I walked through the art section of the library and pulled a book about Vincent van Gogh off the shelf. I was familiar with his work prior to today, but never knew much about his personal life.
His life was quite depressing in my opinion. He had a horrible love life, was unsuccessful in many careers, died at 37, and only sold one painting while he was alive. Nonetheless, he was a great artist. He created over 2,000 pieces of art in less than ten years.
