Complicated life submitted by jgetty on August 31, 2018, 10:32am Complicated life, but I enjoy his paintings.

A vivid picture of the artistic genius and the troubled personal life submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 1, 2019, 10:02pm The story of this extraordinary man who achieved so much in the face of adversity may inspire you and, perhaps, elicit further admiration and even sympathy. The tragic circumstances of Vincent’s life allowed him to pursue his calling for just 11 years, the time required by most artists to master their technique fully. During those 11 years, Vincent experimented and practiced art with a steady sense of purpose. He continued to paint right up until his fateful suicide.
