Seriuosly, I found this for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Gogh
I think he sold only one painting while alive, and yet now is the best selling artist. He suffered from some sort of mental illness, cutting off part of his ear and finally killing himself.
This means that many people today see him as the template for artists: to be a true artist you have to be part-crazy, and if everyone hates your work it's just because you're ahead of your time; posterity will prove them all wrong. This isn't necessarily true.
