Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) - Genius and madness: Today his paintings belong to the most expensive of the world - but he spent his life in extreme poverty and financial dependency. Vincent van Gogh was a desperate man but a possessed artist, never reached in genius - an exception - like his vigorous paintings that seem to sparkle from inside. He is defined as a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist whose unique style with bright color and strong brush strokes is world renown. His most well known painting is Starry Night. We celebrate a variety of his paintings in our Van Gogh Art Collection.
