Question Vincent Van Gogh
Why is it that Vincent Van Gogh sold paintings after he died and could not before - and is today one of the World's most famous impressionists?

Thanks!

He was years ahead of his time.

He knew he was producing great works of art that to him were the most beautiful things ever, yet at every turn he was told they were rubbish. No wonder he topped himself.
