This Is Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh nutzte die Kunst, um seine emotionale Reaktion auf die Welt auszudrücken. Verzückt von der Schönheit der Natur und gequält von den Sorgen der menschlichen Existenz, schuf er einige der ausdrucksstärksten Gemälde der Kunstgeschichte. Dennoch sind seine Werke nicht die eines Wahnsinnigen. Er verkaufte zu Lebzeiten nur ein Bild, doch wenige Jahre nach seinem Tod wurde er als einer der größten modernen Maler anerkannt.
