Vincent van Gogh was one of the world’s historic artists, with paintings such as ‘Starry Night’
But his name would NOT be known until after his death…
History tells us he not only suffered from physical and mental health. He was also rumored to have sipped on turpentine and eaten his paint.
And at the age of 37 he passed away. It wasn’t until after his death that his sister-in-law Johanna would collect as many of his paintings as she could, and began to sell his art.
On March 17, 1901, more than “70” of his paintings were displayed in Paris, and though he was gone for many years, he then finally became famous.
Today, Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists in human history.
The moral of this story, is that doubt is in your head. Let your art speak for itself.
He only sold one piece while he was alive…
